(Monrovia) – Monrovia fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and could never recover in a 5-2 loss to Flintridge Prep Tuesday at Monrovia High. The game was called after six innings due to darkness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Flintridge Prep scored three times in the first inning without the benefit of a hit. Nick Aparico was hit by a pitch and Will Grable walked. Spencer Rolfe was also plunked to load the bases. With two out, Aiden Tan then hit a ground ball to second that was mishandled and two runs scored. Rolfe, who was on third, scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
