   Albitz leads South to key league win
   ...
   There may be no South Bay player more valuable to his team than South Torrance shortstop Vance Albitz.
   
   Though he stands only 5-foot-7, Albitz's deceptive skills help shape the way South wins.

   With his team fighting to stay in the Bay League playoff hunt, Albitz was in the middle of South's important 2-1 home victory over Peninsula on Friday.
   
   Albitz doubled in the tying run in the fifth inning and his one-out double in the bottom of the seventh off Shaun Profeta set up South's victory.
   
   Albitz doubled over the head of center fielder Derek Pavia and took third on John Hein's infield single.
   ...
   Pavia made the catch, Albitz tagged at third and narrowly beat Pavia's throw to the plate to give South (13-9, 3-3) the victory.
   ...
   For Albitz, it was redemption. With two out and the bases loaded in the second inning, Profeta retired him on a pop up to keep the game scoreless.
   
   "After that at-bat, I said to myself, 'If I get another chance, I'll get it done,' " Albitz said.
   
   Pavia said he thought he had a chance to throw Albitz out at the plate. Instead, Albitz showed speed and patience.
   
   "I made sure he caught it before I took off," he said.
