From LBPOSTSports.com: The Millikan Rams clinched their first league title in eight years with a 5-0 win on Compton’s field yesterday, during the Tarbabes’ senior day. Millikan coach Scott Glasser was very pleased with the league title, though less so with his team’s performance. “I was not real happy with the boys’ performance at the plate,” he said. “But the pitching and defense was there—we’re lucky to get a win when we weren’t playing well.”
The Rams left the bases loaded three times, and got a solid complete-game pitching performance from Matt Clampitt, who threw just 73 pitches. “He’s very focused on the mound,” said Glasser of Clampitt.
Millikan scored two runs in the second inning, as second basemen Brandon Dopplick got things going with an RBI hit towards second base. The Rams scored one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the final inning to take the league title. Jonathan Singleton walked three times, once intentionally. Pedro Vanegas started on the mound for the Tarbabes, and then Danny Guiterez came in to finish the game. “It was an error-free, well fought game,” said Compton coach Brian Reed.
Glasser said the Rams waited until they got back to campus to celebrate, but that his players sprayed each other with Martinelli’s to commemorate the rare treasured league title. Millikan improves to a perfect 10-0 on the season, and Compton falls to 1-8.
