LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

  The La Costa Canyon road warriors win their fourth straight CIF road game in ten innings with a 9-8 win over the #3 ranked Vista Titans to be the first team to reach the Saturday Division I Championship Game at San Diego State's Tony Gwynn Stadium.

  In the other semifinal game Poway beat Eastlake 5-2 to force a Thursday afternoon rematch at Poway High School to determine which team will advance to play the Mavericks in the CIF Division I Championship Game.

  LCC's Garrett Hughes started the game and went 5 innings, yielding 7 runs on 8 hits, 2 walks and 5 strike outs.  Tyler Korn picked up the win (5 - 3 - 7) in pitching 4 and 1/3rd innings, while allowing no runs on 3 hits, 1 walk and 2 strike outs.  Brandon Delgado went 2 for 5, 1 R, 2 RBI's and 1 Home Run.  Will Swanner went 3 for 4, with 3 RBI's and 1 2b, and it was his line drive single to right field in the top of the 10th inning that scored Zach Gage with the go ahead run.  Once again Tyler allowed two singles in the bottom of the last inning, but one Vista runner was thrown out trying to steal second, and then Tyler got a strike out and the final out on a pop up to the infield.

  The Mavericks (22-12) advance to the CIF Championship game for the first time since they won back to back CIF Titles in 2003-2004.
