MONDAY'S RESULTS
GAME 7: Riverside 16, East Los Angeles 1
East L.A. (38-14-1) 100 000 000 — 1 5 3

Morales, McGinely (1, L, 2-1), Valenzuela (5), Arteaga (5), Antelo
(5), Alvarez (6), Perez (7) and Durazo; Sutton (W), 6-2) and Thorburn.
2B — Soto (ELA), Rasmussen (R), Thorburn (R), Harvey (R). 3B —
Sandoval (ELA), Harvey (R), 2. HR — Durazo (ELA), his 6th. Top
Hitters: Perez (ELA) 2-4; Rasmussen (R) 2-4, 2runs, 3 RBI; Thorburn

RBI; Farmer (R) 2-4, 3 RBI; Harvey (R) 4-5, 3 Runs, 5 RBI.
Highlights: Sophomore Teddy Sutton gave up a lead-off homer to Will
Durazo but only yielded four more hits the rest of the way, walking
none and striking out 7 to more than make up for some spotty Riverside
defense. Ryan Harvey had a pair of two-run triples, capping big
innings in the fifth and sixth, and Lachlan Thornburn had a
bases-loaded double in the seventh as RCC cruised over the
pitcher-short Huskies. Tourney MVP Ryan Rasmussen also knocked in 3
runs as Tigers capture first-ever state baseball championship. RCC
outscored its opposition, 60-4, in its three victories.
GAME 6: East Los Angeles 11, Riverside 10, 10 innings
Riverside 000 101 502 1 — 10 14 3

(7), Arteaga (7), Torres (8), Chavez (9), Apodaca (10), Valenzuela

Sandoval (ELA) 2-4, 3 runs, RBI; Mojica (ELA) 4-6, run, 4 RBI.
Highlights: East Los Angeles scored the winning run in the bottom of
the 10th to force a final game when RCC catcher Lachlan Thorburn's
throw attempting to nab ELAC's Rick Sandoval stealing third base went
into left field, allowing Sandoval to score the winning run and ending
this 4-hour, 38-minute marathon. Riverside had rallied from a 7-1
deficit to tie the score at 7-7, then needed two in the ninth to tie
the game again at 9-9. The Tigers held a 10-9 lead going into the last
of the 10th on Tony Schuler's RBI double. But the Huskies got their
lead-off man on via an error, followed by Sandoval's bunt single and
Armando Mojica's run-scoring single, setting up Sandoval's steal of
third base.
