Quotable:
Damien pitcher, Seth Sumner: “I was happy with today’s win. It was a big one for us. We do not want to fall back too many games behind Etiwanda. Pounding outside to both Etiwanda and Upland has given me a lot of success. I notice both struggle with outside pitches and I focused on hitting my spots and working ahead in at-bats.”
