Quotable:
Northview junior, Dean Curley: “We got the lead early and kept it. My job is to see as many pitches as I can. I had a seven-pitch at-bat in the first inning so my teammates and I could see what he (Matt Romero) had to offer. We all did our part in the win. We worked on driving the ball to the right side because he lives on the outside half of the plate. Sal Batres did what he always does. He made pitches, challenged them and let the defense make plays behind him. Today’s win was huge. It sets the tone for Friday. I was really happy that we never let up after we got the lead, and that’s something we need to do more often.”
