Area Champs Again

Saturday, July 25, 1959

West Covina American took the 1959 Area 2 title today with a 12-3 rout of Azusa American at West Covina National field. Despite a pair of wild pitches and hit batters, hard-throwing Lee Meyers struck out 9 for the win. Seven RBIs on home runs by Chuck Calver, Bruce Pittenger and Ken Zoelle drove the offensive scoring attack, with 6 errors by the opposing team contributing 4 unearned runs to West Covina's already comfortable margin of victory.
