Baseball:
The Pacific League championship remains in the control of Arcadia High School.
At the start of the week, Crescenta Valley needed just one of two with the Apaches to recapture the league crown.
But after a 5-4 victory on Tuesday, and an 11-2 thumping on Friday, AHS remains in the league penthouse.
Arcadia extended its current win streak over CV to eight games.
The Apaches scored four runs in the top of the first and were never challenged.
Gabriel Lopez went five innings and allowed two runs on five hits.
Lopez walked four and struck out four.
The league’s most consequential player, Fernando Placencia, got the final six outs to close out the championship.
He allowed one hit, didn’t issue a walk and fanned one CV batter.
Jimmy Spears went 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Dash Schultz singled and scored.
Chris Torres had a double and an RBI.
Connor Campbell got the loss, allowing six runs on six hits in just two innings of work.
He walked two and fanned four AHS batters.
The Apaches got five more off Jonah Yi on six hits over his 2 1/3 innings.
Yi issued a pair of walks and struck out one.
Devon Eskridge doubled, tripled and scored two runs.
Palencia went 3-for-5, with three runs and two RBIs.
Avery Truesdale walked, singled twice, doubled, drove in three and scored a pair of runs.
Brayden Herrera walked, singled, tripled, scored twice and drove in a pair.
Ben Cooper went 1-for-4 with two RBIs.
Maverick Silva singled and scored.
Christian Garcia walked and scored.
Jerry Carlos walked, had a sac fly and two RBIs.
There was no league champion during the 2020 COVID year, but Arcadia has secured titles in 2019 and 2021-2023.
Up next: The Falcons and Apaches will get their playoff opponent on Monday morning at 10.
