GLENDALE - Just four games into the 2014 season, Crescenta Valley High junior pitcher Brian Gadsby has looked every bit the Falcons ace and the highly-touted standout he's quickly become. On Wednesday night in a Dick's Tournament game against Fullerton High, Gadsby again looked the part. The junior right-hander tossed a complete game to key the Falcons to a 2-1 victory over the Indians at Stengel Field. It marked the second straight win for Crescenta Valley (3-1). “It wasn't his best stuff,” Falcons Coach Phil Torres said, “but he competed, which he always does.

One moment Marco Estrada was on top of the world, enjoying a mountain of first-inning run support Wednesday afternoon and even driving in the last two runs of the six-run explosion himself with a rare feat for a starting pitcher - a two-out double. The next instant, the Milwaukee Brewers right-hander, who once played at Glendale Community College, was pulling up lame rounding first base, on his way out of the game and ultimately to the 15-day disabled list. Estrada was placed on the DL Thursday with a right quadriceps strain suffered while running the bases, according to a press release issued by the Brewers, who won Wednesday's home game over the San Francisco Giants, 8-5. "I almost wish I would have struck out on that," Estrada told mlb.com of his fateful hit after leaving the game in the first inning.

SOUTHEAST GLENDALE - For the sixth straight game, the Glendale High baseball squad failed to muster up an earned run. Unlike the previous five which ended in losses, however, Tuesday afternoon saw the Nitros receive a solid outing from starting pitcher Daniel Aragon and timely defense, as they capitalized on errors to nullify another subpar day at the plate for a 1-0 Pacific League victory over the visiting Pasadena Bulldogs Tuesday afternoon....

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Despite a 2-0 loss to Antelope Valley College at the Glendale Sports Complex on Wednesday, the Glendale Community College softball team had a brighter outlook on the bulk of the season that still lies ahead. The Vaqueros' optimism came from the solid outing turned in by No. 1 starting pitcher Jennifer Meza, who limited an Antelope Valley lineup averaging better than eight runs a game to just one earned run on four hits in seven innings and acknowledged she's on her way to reestablishing the form that made her an All-Western State Conference pick as a freshman.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — The short drive home from the Glendale Sports Complex must have felt long for the Glendale Community College softball team Saturday after getting blown out, 8-0, by Santa Barbara Community College. Santa Barbara hit the road early after its first game of the season — dispatching host Glendale in five innings. The easy victory came behind a stellar pitching performance from Kailey Snyder, leaving Santa Barbara's Coach Paula Congleton with little to critique.
