It was an amazing day for Cypress High School athletics.

First, the softball team rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat South Torrance 2-1 at Deanna Manning Stadium in Irvine on Saturday to capture its fourth CIF crown.

Some members of the Cypress baseball team, including Peter Werth, who had the game-winning double in the semifinals, were on hand to cheer on the Centurions for the afternoon game.

Later, those players boarded a bus for the game at Dodger Stadium, where Cypress defeated Harvard Westlake 2-0 for its third CIF title and first Division 1 crown.

So residents of Cypress had plenty to celebrate Saturday night.

We have full coverage with pictures and stories of both games:
