Quotable:
Glendora senior, Braydon Wooldridge: “We weren’t pleased with our performance on Tuesday and wanted to bounce back. I go into every game wanting to finish what I start, but Coach Lewallen made the right decision when he brought in Matt Moreno to close it out. I was able to pound the zone today and trusted my defense to make plays behind me. I had some timing issues at the plate and they got fixed. With the league standings being shaken up, every game is a big one. I really liked our energy from everyone today. If there is one thing I’d really like to see us get better at, it’s to fix our offensive approach in the middle innings.”
