Baseball: There’s a new King in town

Riverside King officially clinched the outright Ivy League title Wednesday afternoon with a 5-2 victory over Riverside Poly. It was fitting that the Wolves accomplished the feat against Poly, which has not only dominated the league in recent years, but was the top dog in the Inland Empire as well.

(Go ahead and file your protests Canyon Springs’ faithful, that’s what we’re here for.)

Danny Haiker (7-1) allowed five hits and two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings for King, then handed the ball to Jared Snow, who retired five of the last seven hitters to earn his second save. Snow was also one of three Wolves to collect two base hits.

King should look good wearing its new crown.
