Prep talk: Summit baseball team has 18-game winning streak

One of the hottest high school baseball teams in Southern California is Summit in Fontana. The SkyHawks are soaring with a 21-3 record, an 18-game winning streak and an 8-0 mark in the Sunkist League. It's perfect timing for coach Samuel Lopez, because his son, Sammy, is a senior starting second baseman.

He and Kody Smathers, a pitcher/infielder, are committed to Cal Baptist. Lopez leads the team in hitting with a .468 average.



Summit played a strong nonleague schedule, with losses to Corona and Norco, and wins over Servite, San Clemente and Rancho Cucamonga. ..
