Baseball: Marco Briones is 26-1 on the mound for Alhambra

His record is 26-1, including 5-0 this season. He’s set to pitch on Tuesday against Bell Gardens in an Almont League game.
Alhambra is 15-3 and 9-0 in league.
Briones, a 5-foot-10 senior, has an 0.18 ERA this season, with 59 strikeouts in 40 innings. He came to Alhambra from Bishop Amat as a sophomore.

Alhambra competes in Division 4, and with Briones in the playoffs, beware.
