By Alex Gonzalez

(Temple City) – Monrovia’s Isaiah Ramos pitched a complete game shutout, striking out nine batters and giving up six hits in the Wildcats 1-0 win over the Temple City Rams, Wednesday afternoon at Temple City High School.

At the top of the fourth inning, Monrovia snapped Tyler Hazlet’s no-hit bid when Gabriel Arellano singled up the middle to reach base. Two pitches later, Arellano stole second. He then was successful again when he stole third on the following the next pitch. Two batters later, Arellano scored on the Ben Goettling sacrifice.

“A truly great story unfolds in the pages of Joe Torosian’s first novel. With high school football at its core, the story of Dale Andrade shows how a young man grows in all aspects of his life thanks to being a part of a team and a football community.”
“This is a great read for everyone: from those who love high school football to those who have no idea about the game.”
“This book brings you onto the field and into the locker room…”

Then in the bottom of the seventh inning with runners at second and third base, with two outs, Ramos struck out Erik Lewis avoiding extra innings.
