Encino Crespi scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat West Covina South Hills 6-5 in the Southern Section Division 2 title game.
“I was waiting for us to break out,” Glendenning said. “It’s a tribute to the kids we practiced being in this situation. We prepared to be punched in the mouth but battled back. We fought all seven innings.”
The seventh started with Joshua Rodriguez getting a bloop single off reliever Joseph Moreno. Pinch-hitter Isaias Tirado was hit by a pitch. Diego Velazquez hit a two-strike RBI single. Arce walked on a three-and-two count to load the bases. In came Matt Moreno. He got the first out of the inning on a popup. Ethan Kodama delivered a two-run single to center to tie the score. Magdaleno struck out. Then came the final drama of Sapp making contact to win the game.
“We believed in what he was doing, the relationships he was building in youth programs,” athletic director Brian Bilek said. One by one, Crespi players waited to have their photo taken with the championship plaque and their coach.It really did happen. Sterling Patick’s 113th and perhaps final pitch in a South Hills uniform is his 9th strikeout. End of 6, South Hills 5, Crespi 2.
