The first walk-off win came March 22 against Palisades when Noa Nakagawa reached on an error in the bottom of the seventh for a 2-1 win.

“I don’t think anything could completely prevent wildfires, but through this work, if we can prevent just one more community from experiencing the heartbreak felt by the families in Santa Rosa or in Paradise or the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, then this effort would’ve been worth it,” Padilla said Thursday.

In his last week as L.A.’s fire recovery czar, Steve Soboroff said he was shut out of high-level planning almost from the start, raising questions about why Mayor Karen Bass chose him and whether rebuilding from the Palisades fire is on track.

But Soboroff agreed to work for free after searing rebukes from Pacific Palisades residents and others.
