Ace Sutton Leads Bearcats in PAL Ocean Awards

Junior right-hander named co-pitcher of year; Jacobs, Titus and Cohen all land first-team honors.

San Mateo’s Bailey Sutton is getting used to collecting awards. The Bearcat junior was named a Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division co-pitcher of the year on Tuesday, a year after she won the honor outright.

Woodside senior southpaw Ashley Miller shares the award with Sutton, a right-hander.

Sutton, who led San Mateo to the PAL Ocean championship at 9-1, compiled a 14-4 overall record and batted a team-high .457 during the regular season.
