Saints Look to Face OC Riptide for First Time in 2026 Season

PASADENA, CA - The Arroyo Seco Saints (2-1) look for their third consecutive win as they play against the OC Riptide (3-1) on June 9th at Jackie Robinson Field.  

On Sunday, the Saints shut down the San Diego Bombers (0-3) 16-9 after being down 9 in the third inning. They exploded with five runs in the fourth, and six in the sixth inning. 

Wyatt Toth (Undecided) made his Saints debut as a designated hitter, hitting a ground rule double to tie the game 9-9 in the sixth against San Diego. 

Brayden Flores (Loyola Marymount) set the stage for the Saints, hitting the first home run of the season, scoring two runs, and having six RBIs overall against the San Diego Bombers. 

Cash Carroll (Mount San Antonio College) dominated as relief going six scoreless innings and striking out nine batters against the Bombers on Sunday. The Pasadena native had a 3.86 ERA during his 2026 spring season with Mount San Antonio College.
