FULLERTON — Every little thing came together for the Glendora baseball team during Saturday’s CIF Southern Section Division 3 championship against neighboring San Dimas at Cal State Fullerton.

Timely hitting along with clutch defense and pitching were on display for Glendora as it shut out San Dimas 2-0 to claim the school’s second championship and first since 2010.

“One wise man told me that pitching and defense, those are the things you can control,” Glendora coach Jerry Lewallen said. “Those are things we work extremely hard on. And then some timely execution and base hits, that’s what got it done today.”

Glendora’s Aaron Jacobsen, a Westmont commit, led the way with two doubles and an RBI. Each of Jacobsen’s doubles led to runs, in the first and sixth innings.

“It’s been a journey and all the preparation and hard work just paid off right now,” Jacobsen said. “I’m so happy. The countless nights hitting with my dad and the extra hours at the field with the team, it feels so good right now.”

Glendora improved to 23-10 while San Dimas dropped to 19-11. Both teams will be in the CIF State Regional playoffs that start Tuesday.

Glendora didn’t have the biggest day offensively, but it did enough.

After Glendora’s Santiago Garza legged out an infield single and took second on a sacrifice bunt, the Tartans cashed in. Jacobsen smashed a double to right that easily scored Garza for a 1-0 lead.

Garza had three of the Tartans’ six hits.

Glendora was still clinging to a 1-0 lead when pitcher Brayden Johnson, who has been the Tartans’ workhorse in the playoffs, took over for starter Tanner Grable with one out in the fourth inning and a runner on second base.

Johnson got a strikeout and groundout to get the Tartans out of the jam with their 1-0 lead.

The Tartans added a run in the sixth inning after Jacobsen’s leadoff double. Troy Norman ran for Jacobsen and eventually scored on a Saints error for a 2-0 lead.

Grable and Johnson com- bined for a three-hit shutout. Grable allowed two hits in 3 1/3 innings and Johnson allowed one hit over the final 3 2/3 innings to close it out.

“(Winning) was a big sigh of relief,” Johnson said. “It was a long season and we worked so hard to get here and now we can just celebrate.”

San Dimas got a strong pitching effort from starter James Rocha, who went five innings and finished with five strikeouts. He allowed just one earned run. Freshman Dean Brosterhouse threw two no-hit innings.

The Saints, who were looking for their third championship and first since 2009, could not figure out a way to push runs across.

“They played well and we made some mistakes,” San Dimas coach Mike Regan said. “They outhit us, they pitched well and they played a complete game. That’s the way it goes. We made a few errors and we didn’t really swing it. They beat us, that’s it.”
