Mavericks Win Carlsbad Memorial Day Tournament

Posted by Neil Miller on May 30 2010 at 05:00PM PDT
La Costa played their first tournament of the 2010 Summer Season and came away with the First Place, Championship Trophy.   Facing Carlsbad in the Championship Game, LCC jumped ahead with five big runs in the top of the first inning after their first seven batters reached base.  Neither team scored again until the fifth inning when the Lancers started to claw their way back in to the game.  LCC added runs in the 6th and 7th and thought they had the win cinched as they headed in to the bottom of the 7th with a 8-2 lead.  Carlsbad was not done though....... Carlsbad pecked away at the lead getting to the meat of their order.  Every fan in the stands was on the edge of their seats as they watched the lead drop to  just one run.  Carlsbad had the tying run on second base with just one out.  A sharply hit ball to 2nd base was fielded by Schenk then Balderas made the last play of the game with a nice put-out from third.  The Mavericks added another trophy to the collection with a final score of 8-7.

Carter Johnson pitched four shut-out innings and got the win.  He was relieved by Sachrison and Casas.

Casinelli, Solomon, Winters, Davern, Balderas, Miller, Allmaras, Johnson, and Casas ALL had hits.

This was an EXCITING game between two rivals that are sure to have three more years of intense games.
