Glendora's Adam Plutko had the scouts out in force at the Apache Invitational

Temple City’s ten inning tie with Glendora was the highlight of the Apache Invitational. The Tartans’ Adam Plutko attracted plenty of scouts with a fastball that was clocked at 91. He didn’t disappoint by striking out 16 but the Rams battled him to a deadlock.

Glendora rebounded to win the tournament by racking up 10 on Arcadia. One more note on Temple City – Ruben Jara is a wall behind the plate. South Hills didn’t win the National Classic in Anaheim but represented well. Alhambra and Monrovia are itching to get back into league. Bonita has win 10 straight and looks unbeatable in the Miramonte.

Northview’s only obstacle in the Valle Vista might be San Dimas but the Saints need to start hitting. What’s up with St. Frank’s? If you have any thoughts, rants, raves or baseball scoop e mail Tim at tspeterson32@yahoo.com.
