		The season finale for Oaks baseball came last weekend when the 18-and-under Blue team -- the Oaks squad which plays at the highest level of competition -- fell just short of the Connie Mack World Series with a loss at the regional tournament.

		The Oaks program is not unique in that it serves as a stepping stone to big-time college baseball or even the major leagues -- several Bay Area summer programs have a successful track record in that department -- but there is an element that sets it apart.
