MARINA- Screams of pure joy echoed from a baseball field as the Marina High School Baseball team beat rival Carmel on Friday, but that joy would be cut short just a few days later. While the win secured the Mariners a spot in the Central Coast Section playoffs for the first time the team won't be competing due to a missed deadline.

The dream was ripped out of their hands Monday before they even got a chance to play when Marina High's baseball team learned they can't go to the playoffs because the proper paperwork wasn't turned in on time.

A CCS spokesperson told Central Coast News, every school who wants to be tournament eligible, must file a team roster. The form had to be filed online or in person by May 1st at 5 PM.
