Sophomore Jayden Rojas pitches six shutout innings while David Gonzalez delivers another clutch hit to give Eagles first upper division City title
Get ready for a parade and maybe some keys to the city. A group of teenage baseball players from Bell High made history on Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, winning the school's first City Section Open Division championship with a 4-1 defeat of defending champion Birmingham. Sophomore Jayden Rojas, embracing the pressure and significance of pitching on his field of dreams, threw six shutout innings.
The Eagles added three runs in the seventh on a bases loaded walk and two-run single by Ramirez. Meanwhile, Rojas' poise showed throughout. Each time he got a third out to keep his scoreless string alive, he'd walk off the mound waving his fist. The 15-year-old is a big Dodger fan, and he said earlier in the week it was his dream to pitch at Dodger Stadium. His execution and effectiveness has already stamped himself as one of the best pitchers in the City Section.
