LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Thanks to some incredible defensive plays and clutch hitting the Mavericks were able to defeat Eastlake 3-1. With the victory the Mavericks move to Saturdays Championship game at Tony Gwynn Stadium. In the sixth inning Eastlake loaded the bases with one out. The next hitter laced a shot down the right field line, one that looked like extra bases. Nick Burke came from no where to make a spectacular diving catch, only allowing the runner on third to advance. The next batter popped out and the Mavericks were able to maintain their lead. Chris Fuller was the clutch hitter for the Mavericks today as he went 3-3 with two RBI's. Both RBI's came with two outs and men in scoring position. On the mound the Mavericks were led by a combination of pitchers in Kenney and Logan. Michael Kenney started the game pitching five great innings. He was relieved by Drew Logan in the sixth. Logan finished the Titans in the seventh for the save. Quote of the Day - Eastlake Coach Dave Gonzalez - "That was one of the top 10 catches I've ever seen in a high school game."
