Also on their 2022 resume: Pasadena knocked off first-place Arcadia on April 19, and the Bulldogs handed second-place Burroughs its first league loss after they started 5-0 in Pacific League play.
Quotable:
PHS pitcher, Ben Griffith: “My fastball was definitely working and I was locating it well. My curveball was sharp and kept them off balance. Sweeping Muir is one of our goals each season, so it felt great to accomplish that the past two seasons. We definitely had a slow start, but we were in all our games early but went flat at the start of league play. We came together after the Burbank & CV series’ and started playing more as a team and focused on being better teammates, which was a main factor in our success. You can’t win or achieve success in baseball unless you commit yourself to the team.”
