Congratulations to the San Dimas Saints who on Wednesday night, April 1, 2105, captured the 41st Annual Anaheim Lions Tournament Championship. The Saints allowed a total of three runs in their first four games to qualify for the championship game and then added another seven innings of goose eggs and defeated the Bonia Bearcats, 5-0. The Saints are currently undefeated at 14-0 and have won two tournament championships thus far this season.
San Dimas baseball team on a roll, improves to 14-0
Posted on April 3, 2015by
The San Dimas baseball team is on quite the roll and coaches Mike Regan and Mark Chiappelli are probably hoping the Saints don’t peak too soon.
The team is 14-0 with that start including three wins over local foe Bonita, the last being by a 5-0 tally in the championship game of the Anaheim Lions Tournament on Wednesday.
“It’s really a special group,” Regan says. “They have all played together growing up so they’re a pretty tight group. And they’re all very unselfish. It’s a pleasure to coach them.”
San Dimas has the No. 1 stud pitcher in senior Peter Lambert who has more than lived up to expectations. He’s 4-0 with a microscopic 0.52 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 27 innings.
But he has another standout as well in Jacob Castillo who is 4-0 as well and has yet to give up a run. That’s a pretty formidable 1-2 punch.
Those two are also a significant part of the offense when not on the mound. Lambert is hitting .302, Castillo .344.
Then there are Logan Murratalla (.333) and Joseph Millwee (.385).
But Regan has been most surprised by the contributions of sophomores Dante Palacio (.341) and Joseph Bahna who hit first and third in the lineup.
All are hoping to make up for last year’s playoff run which ended way too soon. This year they have the makings of a team that has the potential to go the distance.
Next up for the Saints is the Don Lugo Tournament. First up is Southlands Christian at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at San Dimas.
