The Ayala High School baseball program has had a lot of success lately.
In fact, they haven’t lost a game since May 7th of 2019.
When COVID-19 ended the 2020 season, the Bulldogs were 9-0, and until this past Saturday, they hadn’t taken the field since.
And Ayala picked up right where they left off.
The Bulldogs got 10 fourth-inning runs and cruised past Foothill High School, 12-3.
Aiden Taurek got torched for eight runs on nine hits in three innings, and he was saddled with the loss.
Ty Borgogno went 3-for-5, with two singles, a double, three RBIs and he scored once.
Troy McCain singled three times, drove in a pair of runs and scored.
Luke Solis produced two hits and two runs.
Cole Koniarsky went 2-for-5, including a pair of singles, run scored and an RBI.
Mateo Matthews hit a solo shot in the win.
Jacob Badawi walked, singled, had an RBI and two runs.
Ryan Moreno singled, scored and drove in one run, and Marcus Galvan singled and scored.
Damien Delgadillo walked twice, scored and had two RBIs.
Ayala out-hit Foothill, 14-7.
Andres Pasillas earned the win for the Bulldogs.
Pasillas went the first three innings, allowing two runs on four hits.
AJ Juarez gave the Bulldogs two innings of relief, while surrendering one run on three hits, and Thomas Cerecedes and Nico Masucci contributed one scoreless inning apiece to close out the Knights.
Aiden Taurek walked, singled, doubled and drove in two of Foothill’s three runs.
Luke Sampson singled, doubled and scored a run in the loss.
Up next: Ayala will host Downey on Thursday.

Baseball: St. Francis avoided a three-game Mission League sweep on Friday. But they had to work overtime to accomplish that feat. The Golden Knights edged Crespi, 4-3, in nine innings. Diego Velasquez got the loss after allowing one run on two hits over two innings. Velasquez walked one and fanned three St. Francis batters. Jordan […]
Baseball: Marshall Fundamental will have to settle for third place in the Mission Valley League. The Eagles needed wins over Arroyo, El Monte and Mountain View, and they had to count on some assistance from South El Monte to defeat Arroyo next week if the boys from Pasadena were to secure the MVL’s No. 2 […]

Baseball: In 2022, Northview ended the longtime San Dimas reign atop the Valle Vista League standings. Perhaps it was fitting that the Saints swept the Vikings this week to secure a second consecutive VVL championship. SDHS defeated NHS, 16-2, on Wednesday, and 5-0 on Friday. With two games to play, San Dimas has a three-game […]
Baseball: There’s a reason Bonita’s closing in on a third consecutive Palomares League championship. And it’s called pitching. The Bearcats just completed a three-game sweep of Claremont by scores of 2-1, 13-1 and 2-0. BHS got a complete-game effort from Camden Farina on Monday, and six innings from Jayden Rodriguez-Bernal on Wednesday. Fast forward to […]
Editor’s Note: For some reason, Upland doesn’t post their roster on MaxPreps, Scorebook live or the school’s official sports site so I could only list names that I could find. Softball: Twenty-seven days ago, Upland handed Etiwanda its first loss (4-1) in Baseline League play. Fast forward to Thursday, and the Eagles got payback in […]
