La Costa faced El Camino this afternoon in a road game doubleheader, and LCC came with revenge in mind after losing to EC earlier in the week.
GAME 1: This game started out as a defensive & pitching battle with the score tied 0-0 going in to the 5th inning. LCC finally busted things open when Casinelli opened with a single, and Solomon followed with a walk, followed by an HR BOMB by Davern. Two minutes later Balderas decided to make it back-to-back with another jack to make the score 4-0 La Costa. El Camino managed to score runs in the 5th and 6th but the score ended LCC 4, El Camino 2.
Ethan Allen started and he pitched 6 fine innings to get the win.
GAME 2: LCC scored in the top of the 2nd when Solomon led off with a double and was hit in by Casas. The Mav's then added two more in the 3rd inning when Winters walked and advanced on a wild pitch and was then hit in when Balderas singled. Miller then singled to drive in Balderas to make the score 3-0. The Mav's then added another insurance run in the 5th when Davern hit his 2ND HOMERUN OF THE DAY - this one a smash over dead centerfield. LCC managed to hold on to the lead as El Camino scored 2 in the 5th to bring the score to 4-2. Things got interesting in the bottom of the 7th when the 2nd batter went yard to bring El Camino within 1. At this point starting pitcher Carter Johnson had thrown 97 pitches...........bringing Coach Justin to the mound. Machado extended the leash and Johnson stayed in and retired the side to get the COMPLETE GAME and the win.
With this pair of wins, LCC is now 8-1 in league play. Next up is a game against Vista on Wednesday - on the road.
