It was the first league game for both teams.
Aidan Gordon takes a look for TC
Looks like a young TC team took advantage of a Monrovia team that was saving their “good” pitcher for Friday’s game against La Canada. Hope Monrovia keeps making those misjudgments, it may cost them league this year. Great job Rob. GO RAMS
