Baseball:
This one’s going to sting if you’re part of the Northview baseball program.
The Vikings took a 4-3 lead into the top of the seventh inning against SGV power and the Valle Vista League reigning champions from San Dimas.
With Rocco Regan on base, Northview intentionally walked Ryder Young, who had already homered on Friday.
And with two on, two out and two strikes, Ryan Kim hit a three-run shot off of Andrew Granados to give San Dimas a 6-4 lead, and three outs later, a 6-4 victory.
The Saints picked up the two-game season sweep of the Vikings on Friday, having defeated Northview, 11-1, on Wednesday.
Ethan Galindo went the first five innings and left with a 4-3 lead.
He surrendered three runs on six hits, including home runs to both Ryder Young and Matt Rice.
Galindo didn’t walk anyone and struck out one.
In all, Ryder Young walked, singled, homered and scored twice.
Ryan Kim singled and homered and finished with the three RBIs.
Matt Rice’s home run was a two-run shot.
Paul Vasquez singled and scored for the Saints.
Kasen Khansarinia went the first four innings for San Dimas and allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits.
He walked four and struck out five Northview batters.
Matt Romero got the win.
Romero went three scoreless, allowing two hits, walking one and striking out a pair.
Dean Curley walked twice, singled twice and scored a pair of runs.
Eligh Hidalgo scored and had an RBI.
Nick Peoples walked and collected a pair of singles.
Ivan Barragan singled and scored for Northview.
Up next: The Saints will battle Covina on Wednesday and Friday, and the Vikings will likely pad their stats and pick up a couple of wins against Diamond Ranch.
