The Glendale High baseball team did Tuesday what no other Pacific
League team had done this season: beat Arcadia.
The Nitros accomplished what highly regarded Crescenta Valley
couldn't with a 4-3 victory at Glendale High, spoiling what could've
been an undefeated run by the Apaches (17-4, 10-1 in league) --
ranked No. 7 in CIF Southern Section Division I -- in league.
Glendale (10-10, 5-6) trailed, 3-0, but timely hits and great
pitching gave Jay Chadwick's squad its first win against Arcadia
since 2001.

The Nitros collected eight hits, including three in the sixth,
when they scored the tying and go-ahead runs. Zareh Sohbatian, Gerald
Martinez and Ryan Kim opened the inning with singles and Eric Cardens
drove Sohbatian in with a fielder's choice.
After a walk loaded the bases again, Joe Hanna drew a bases-loaded
walk against Apache ace Nolan Bruyninckx for the game-winning run.
