A large crowd of locals turned out for the Big Sur playoffs this week, including the vocal group, River Voices, which sang the National Anthem, and county planning commissioner and former Big Sur softball player Kate Daniels, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch — and showed off a surprisingly lively arm. There were even hot dogs available, thanks to Mario Bellizzi and Sue Malinowski.
