Glendora, Calif. – The Palm Springs Power took Game 1 of the CPCL Championship Series 3-1 on Saturday against the Inland Valley Pirates, inching closer to a third consecutive league championship.
It was a masterclass performance on the road from the Power pitching staff. Kenny Keller, Chapman Weber and Isaac Quintero split the work on the mound for game one at Citrus College in Glendora.
Keller earned the start and allowed one run through four innings. Weber handled the next three innings and held the Pirates scoreless. As did Quintero, who came into the game in the eighth to shut the door with a six-out save.
Offensively, the Power benefited from timely situational hitting. Myles Walton drove in Austin Haller for the first run of the game with an RBI single in the third. Matt Chavez drove him in with a sac fly two batters later.
In the sixth, Walton knocked in Haller once again to push the score to 3-1. The Power were able to respond to the Pirates’ run in the bottom of the fourth, their lone run of the game.
Greyson Gegg celebrated his birthday with a 3-for-3 day at the plate.
The Power are one win away from a third consecutive CPCL Championship. Game 2 will be at 4 pm on Sunday at Palm Springs Stadium.
