WALNUT —
The talent gap in the Valley was razor thin this season, so it made sense the inaugural SGV Tribune Senior All-Star baseball game ended in a tie.
Chino Hills’ Justin Bardwell had a RBI single in the ninth as the SGV MVPs tied the SGV Stars at 4 at Mt. San Antonio College.
Bonita’s Danny Gelalich had two hits and West Covina’s Alex Carrillo had two RBIs for the Stars.
Pasadena’s Frank Garriola led off the ninth with a single. He advanced to second on a wild-pitch before Bardwell singled with two outs to tie the score.
Both teams where held scoreless in the 10th.
Garriola and Bardwell had two hits each for the MVPs.
The Stars, who had just one hit through the first four innings, led 4-2 after six innings. They rallied for a 3-2 lead in the fifth.
The Stars strung together four consecutive hits in the inning. South Hills’ Gabe Chavez and Gelalich, who will attend Brigham Young, had singles before a two-run double by Carrillo tied it at 2.
Bonita’s Justin Gomez followed with a RBI single to make it 3-2.
Charter Oak’s Oscar Osorio had a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 4-2.
The MVPs cut it to 4-3 in the seventh on singles by Arcadia’s Matt Jung and Damien’s Andrew Garcia and a sacrifice fly by San Dimas’ Logan Muratala.
The MVPs took a 2-0 lead in the first. Garriola had a lead-off single before Chino Hills’ Chris Ceballos and Damien’s Grant Woodward had RBI doubles.
Northview’s Manny Armendariz was solid on the mound, striking out four in two innings.
The Stars had a shot to extend their lead in the seventh. Carrillo walked and Bishop Amat’s Aaron McCann doubled with one out. But Armendariz finished the inning with back-to-back strike outs.
In the underclassmen game, the SGV Elites beat the SGV Bests, 8-1.
West Covina’s Andrew Sanchez had a two-run double to lead the Elites.
Bassett’s Frankie Villanueva had a triple and Bishop Amat’s Jayson Gonzalez had a RBI single for the Bests’ only run.
