Rancho Cucamonga had to settle for second on Monday, but Joey Lopez sure wasn't going down easily. Lopez pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. The performance marked the fewest earned runs he has had since back in February.
Even though Lopez couldn't lead Rancho Cucamonga over Damien, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cougars have some work to do to even out the 1-9 series between these two since April of 2023, but a win here would be a good start.
