The John Burroughs Bears continue to show why they are to be taken seriously as in-season frontrunners for the Pacific League title by extending their win streak to nine games with another sweeping win, this one over Hoover (25-11, 25-14, 25-6). Emma De Cunzo Steinglass contributed with six aces to help complete the sweep of the Tornados. In the first of their back-to-backs, Hoover came off a five-set defeat to the Burbank Bulldogs, while Burroughs made a statement with a sweeping win over preseason Pacific League co-favorite Arcadia Apaches.

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
