Since the league started in 1950, West Covina American had never gotten farther than an Area final, but today they won their first District title, completely dominating a strong Covina American team, 11-2. West Covina slammed 5 home runs against starting pitcher Frank Stone, who later redeemed himself with a homer of his own which drove in Covina's only 2 runs. West Covina mound man Bruce Young struck out 9, walked none, and held the losing team to just 3 hits.
Covina American..........000 200– 2 3 3

West Covina is assuming the appearance of a juggernaut. They have thus far out-scored their competition by a combined run total of 50-4 (only 1 of those 4 unearned), and hit safely 37 times to their opponents' 8. WCALL now moves on to the Section V tournament in Arcadia, where they will face District 15-A champs Bassett on August 2.
