Baseball:
From 0-4 to Rio Hondo League champions.
The Titans secured a 3-1 victory over Monrovia on Thursday afternoon, and they claimed an RHL title.
As many know, San Marino lost its first four RHL games in 2023.
Each of the four setbacks came by one run, including one in extra innings.
But since then, the Titans won eight straight and completed RHL series wins over Temple City, La Canada and Monrovia.
San Marino and South Pasadena both finished 8-4 in league games, but the Titans won two of three against the Tigers.
Tomas Bilvado went 5 1/3 innings and surrendered just one run on two hits to earn the win.
Bilvado walked one and struck out five.
Nico Osegueda got the last five outs without any damage, and he struck out three Monrovia batters.
Micah Maljian, Camden Conklin and Jack Zinn had one single apiece to account for the Wildcats offense.
Alex Myers got the loss, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits over 3 2/3 innings.
Myers issued a pair of walks and fanned two San Marino batters.
Tyler Giddings singled and drove in a run.
JJ Wilson went 2-for-3, with a run and an RBI.
Sid Danenhauer walked, singled and scored.
Mikey Yessaian walked and scored.
