Quotable:
Mt. SAC coach, John Knott: “We played good baseball in this series versus LA Harbor. Haggerty, Calzadiaz and Lorenzano were very good this week for us on the mound along with others. We played solid defense behind them led by Andrew Ramirez and Daniel Briones. It also helped to get offensive production from Andrew Walters, Joey Rossetti and Bradyn France. It was a total team effort this series and we need to play one pitch at a time if we expect to be successful moving forward versus a very good El Camino squad.”
