Norco serves notice of its baseball talent with win over No. 1 St. John Bosco
Norco improves to 13-1 by knocking off the top-ranked Braves in a Boras Classic tournament opener on Tuesday.
The opening day of the 16-team Boras Classic on Tuesday was the perfect opportunity for Norco High to demonstrate that it's a serious candidate to win the Southern Section Division 1 baseball championship. A 3-2 win over No. 1-ranked St.
John Bosco proved the 13-1 Cougars are the real deal. "This is really a big win for us," said Norco pitcher Jacob Melendez, who picked up the save with a scoreless seventh. As if Norco didn't have enough talent, Melendez and catcher Codey Brown became eligible last month after sitting out the first part of their junior season following their transfers from Paloma Valley and Ayala, respectively.
Melendez has hit three home runs in four games since becoming eligible and Brown is also contributing. Norco has beaten No. 1 St.
