La Costa played Santa Fe Christian today at LCC. SFC got off to a quick start scoring 2 runs in the first and then adding 3 more in the top of the second inning. At this point LCC was down 5 - nothing. The Mavericks managed a few hits but could not manage to put a runner across the plate. In the 5th inning the Mavs broke it open, scoring 5 runs on 5 hits. Casas started the rally with a single, followed by a single by Winters and a double by Balderas, then Davern added another double off the fence, and Miller knocked in a run, followed by a key pinch hit single by Sean McElroy to tie the game.
Neither team could score in the 6th or 7th. The Mavericks put it away in the bottom of the 8th when Miller led off with a single, followed by McElroy getting on with a hit batsman. Schenk then bunted the runners ahead and Casas drove a ball over the left fielders head for a walk-off RBI single. The final score was LCC 6, Santa Fe Christian 5.
Carter Johnson started on the mound for the Mavericks and pitched 2 innings. EJ Strohler pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings. He was relieved by Souter who pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Balderas entered in the top of the 8th with men on 1st and 3rd and got the win by striking out the SFC batter.
With this win, the Mav's are now 3 - 3 on the season. Next up is a road game at Escondido, on Thursday of this week.
