The Rams played against the Palm Desert Aztecs for the Southern Section Championship at the University of California at Riverside on June 2. Temple City started off weak, allowing Palm Desert to score four runs in the first inning. The boys came out after the first inning, keeping the Aztecs away from home base the rest of the game. Although TC played a hard-fought game, the boys could not get any runs, and ultimately lost 0-4.
Baseball made school history by going to the C.I.F. Southern Section Championship game. This is the furthest any Temple City team has ever gone in the playoff season.
“It was pretty cool [making it to the championship game],” Senior Corey Copping said. “Whenever people look at it [school history], they’ll see our names there.”
TC placed first in Rio Hondo League, sending the team to the first round of C.I.F. The team beat four other schools in playoffs before finishing the season with the C.I.F. championship game.
