Runs haven’t seem hard to come by these days for Pasadena Poly. Matt Saeta’s three-run home run in the first got it started and Hunter Merryman went 2 for 3 with four RBIs to lead the Panthers to an 11-1 Prep League mercy-win over Flintridge Prep on Tuesday afternoon at Pasadena Poly. Poly’s Jordan Kutzer struck out five in four innings pitched to pick up his fourth win of the season. Charlie Baxter and Brian Holman pitched two scoreless innings. The battery allowed only one run on two hits. Pasadena Poly (9-2, 4-0) visits Flintridge Prep (6-6, 3-1) on Friday. The Rebels scored their lone run in the second when Will Peterman connected on a 1-2 pitch and hit a home run over the right field wall. This is the second time in five days I’ve seen Poly in action. I gotta say, they’re probably the most underrated team in the valley. Poly played Arcadia tough and led 1-0 heading into the fourth, but a miscue in the outfield opened the gates and the Apaches won, 9-1. The Panthers lost only 3-0 to Monrovia, beat San Marino, 7-4, and beat La Canada, 6-5. Poly and Maranatha go at it later this month under the lights at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
