Super Troopers Paddle Sunrays, 11-2
The Ontario Sunrays started the 2025 season not with a bang but with a whimper, falling, 11-2, to the Santa Barbara Super Troopers at Sunrays Field. Catcher Brent Mallinson was the top performer for Santa Barbara.

The Sunrays had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Super Troopers going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old shortstop Doug Wagner came to the plate. Wagner hit a 3-run home run on a 3-0 fastball from Ontario hurler Justin Knittle. It was Wagner's 2nd home run of the year.

Ontario manager Sam Story called the blowout loss "just something that happens from time to time."
