  On Senior Day for the Bearcats, the team pounded out 20 runs on 18 hits and played flawlessly on defense to spank the West Covina Bulldogs 20-4. It was a gaudy offensive display marked by some incredible individual performances. K.C. Huth was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 RBIs. Matt Gelalich […]
Riding the right arm of Sean Beckman and first inning solo home runs by Nick Cooksey and Brennan Salgado, Glendora spanked Bonita 10-0 in the Monday morning game of the Spring Break Arcadia Apache tournament.
