Quotable:
San Dimas coach, Mike Regan: “James Rocha is a big-game pitcher as is Dean Brosterhous. We knew going in that we may use both if needed for this game. You need guys with a slow heartbeat to win big games and that is exactly what they did today. We had great at-bats from Lou Farias, Dean, Josh Calcanas and AJ Larios, which gave us a shot to win. Calcanas is one of our leaders, and he set the tone from the games start with a leadoff single. The rest of the guys did their job and fed off the energy. It was a fun game to coach and the boys showed up.”
San Dimas pitcher, James Rocha: “I had my inside fastball working well, and that helped set my other pitches up. The two runs gave me some comfort, but I knew I had to buckle down and pound the zone. Bonita is a good program, and I know they swing the bats well. It’s a huge deal to beat Bonita. They’re out rivals and we’ve had a lot of success of late against them. I’m happy to do my part in beating our rival. I have the most confidence in Dean and I knew he’d come in and close out the win. We have good chemistry and I think we’ll compete for a league title.”
