Ricky Imperiali Vista Head Baseball Coach: "We left 13 guys on base and couldn't get a clutch hit today." "Chase Ramirez battled well on the mound as he got a couple of pitches up against Santana as they have good hitters which hit the ball very well." "After we gave up the home run we battled but quite didn't get the big hits that we needed to."
