Arcadia 3, Crescenta Valley 2<\/strong> Austin Georgen (6-2, 0.89 ERA, 47.0 IP, 48 K) started on the bump for the Apaches and fell behind 1-0 in the first after walking a batter and pegging two more to load the bases with one out, before Nolan Rea (1\/3) singled in Bryan Wang (1\/3, R, HBP) to put the Falcons ahead. Georgen then navigated out of the conundrum without further damage and nixed 11 of the next 12 he faced (including a pickoff to end the ensuing inning) from that point on to the end of the fourth.<\/p>\n Joe Torres (1\/2, R, BB) led off the fifth on second base for CV after a single to left was mismanaged, and later scored to tie it at 2-2 when Michael Russo (0\/2, BB) poked it back to Georgen, who afterward caught Jonny Psaltis (0\/2, HBP) looking for the third out, before leaving after back-to-back walks with one out to start the seventh.<\/p>\n Joey Harmon (2 SV, 0.00 ERA, 2.1 IP, 3 K) then took the pitching reins and got the job done in just five pitches, inducing a 6-4-3 double play at the end to notch his second save of the season and secure the\u00a0win for both Georgen and Arcadia.<\/p>\n The victory brings the Apaches one game out of first with a 5-2 mark in league for third place, behind an all-Burbank city affair atop the standings. Just one game separates the top four teams.<\/p>\n Elsewhere In The Pacific League:<\/strong><\/p>\n Burbank (11-7, 6-1) hung on to beat Burroughs (13-7, 6-1) 8-6 and take first place by a half game in a homer-friendly fiesta which featured five shots going yard combined. Ricky Perez of Burbank led the barrage with two jacks, first a solo shot before smoking a three run blast. Both cleared the high fence short porch onto the football field in right.<\/p>\n In the Hardball Tussle, Pasadena (10-9, 3-4) finished round one of league by pummeling its arch-rival Muir (1-10, 0-7) 15-0 in a mercy-shortened five inning quick in and out. Individual highlights for this game were not available at time of this post’s publishing.<\/p>\n And in the battle between two Glendale-city schools, Hoover (4-12, 2-5) came out on top, defeating Glendale (2-13, 1-6) 6-3. Orlando Marin hurled six quality innings en route to the win, yielding three hits and three walks, while helping his own cause at bat by batting 2 for 3 with two RBI’s. The Tornadoes, on a roll of late, have won three of its last four, including victories of 8-7 over San Gabriel and 7-4 on Muir.<\/p>\n Pacific League Standings<\/strong> By Corey Kwok Arcadia 3, Crescenta Valley 2 David Dominguez (1\/3, 2 RBI’s, BB) tied the game in the second inning on an RBI walk before belting a decisive and eventual game winning RBI double at the top of the sixth that drove Arcadia (14-6, 5-2) onto a convincing 3-2 victory over arch-rival Crescenta Valley […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32189"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32191,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32189\/revisions\/32191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
