Baseball:
Arcadia won its fourth game in five tries thanks to a solid outing on the mound from Casey Spencer and some timely hitting in the fourth inning.
The Apaches wore down Cypress for a 7-2 victory on Monday night.
Spencer went the first five innings and allowed just one run on two hits.
He walked a pair and struck out eight Centurions’ batters.
Spencer was able to weave his way out of a couple of potential jams early and then he cruised and got stronger as the game went on.
Harrison Meyers closed out Cypress over the final two innings.
He allowed one run on one hit, walking two and striking out four batters.
Davis Hildebrandt went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIs for the Centurions.
Bren Wilkinson walked twice and scored both times.
James Paul was stuck with the loss.
Paul allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits over his three innings of work
Ari Nurhadi had a three-RBI double in the bottom of the fourth inning to blow the game wide open.

Alex Dolan doubled in two and scored a run for the Apaches.
Brandon Nguyen walked, singled and scored in the win.
Mikey Easter was pegged twice, singled and scored.
Matthew McIntire singled and scored and Harrison Meyers walked twice and scored a pair of runs.
Zach Huerta had an RBI base hit in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, and his bases-loaded walk plated the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fourth.
