Baseball: Monrovia bounces back with 2-1 win over South Pasadena on Wednesday to snap 7-game losing streak. Temple City visits San Marino at 3:30 today.

Posted on by

Monrovia’s Kevin Shue went the distance and allowed just four hits and no earned runs to lead the Wildcats to a 2-1 win over South Pasadena on Wednesday afternoon. The win helped the Wildcats (9-12-1, 5-4) snap a seven-game losing streak and puts them above .500 in the Rio Hondo League for the first time since opening with four consecutive victories. Monrovia scored one in the first inning to grab the early lead, but errors still seem to hamper the Wildcats as they committed a staggering four errors. Monrovia’s Adrian Velasco and Joe Mata each had a double with an RBI apiece from Jairo Jiorge and Kevin Pestanas. Monrovia is off today and visits La Canada on Friday. League leader Temple City (14-6, 8-1) sits comfortably atop the league standings with three league games remaining. First of the three is a trip to San Marino today. The big game for the Rams will come next Tuesday when it visits Monrovia. That series is always a treat, evident by the last two games with each team making making heroic plays in the bottom of the seventh inning to squeeze out a victory.

    Amazing to see not one person from the Star News at the TCHS SMHS game today. The first time in seven years that Mo town doesn’t win league and no love for the boys at TC that won the league championship today. Brutal, I say stay away and let the Rams keep winning. Great job boys

    Miguel was over at Temple City covering Jonny Wang. Maybe he thought the game was at TC and decided to take in a match rather than make the drive to San Marino.

    The only thing Brutal is that it has taken 7 years to win another RHL. God knows he had the players. Lets just pray the guy doesn’t break another mirror.

    Congrats Boys, I’m very proud of you.

    After reading article after article about Monrovia and their chances of still winning the RHL, Temple City, quietly, without anybody noticing at the Star News, clinched the championship Thursday with two games left in league. To bad nobody at the Star News was interested or could even mention the possibility that Temple City could win the championship with one more win. A box score wasn’t even listed. Every team has its controversies and TC has had its share but has chosen not to cry about it. Time to man up Manny, and give credit where credit is due, to the boys at Temple City High School. TC boy are true winners and are well deserving of the championship. GOOK LUCK IN POST SEASON!

    Michele is right. Always about Monrovia. No mention at all when LC beat Mnrovia twice. LC has the best pitching in the league and PSN hasn’t been to one game. TC has the best hitting, defense and the best coaching. They deserve to be #1

    Does the PSN even cover baseball anymore?
    Alhambra wins it’s 7th straight league title yesterday and no press. Not to mention thier pitcher Frankie Wright throws another shutout which lowers his era below .050 and he hits a grand slam. Weak coverage this year it’s time for a new sports writer..
