LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

The Mavericks defeated Torrey Pines on Saturday 10-4 to win their fourth consecutive Falcon Pirate Tournament and ninth overall.  The offense came through during the game led by Chad Jensen, Zach Tieger, and Matt Hall.  Trailing 2-0 and 4-2 Chad Jensen and Zach Tieger led off innings with base hits to start rallies and set the table for the top of the lineup.  Matt Hall had another great game going 3-4 with 5 rbi's.  The game was close until the fifth when the Mavs erupted for 3 and then 5 in the sixth.  On the mound the Mavericks got a great effort out of starter Jake Schulz (4 IP, 3 ER, 3 BB, 6 K).  He was relieved by Tanner Gage in the fifth facing bases loaded with no outs.  Tanner got a shallow fly ball out, an infield single that plated two and two strikeouts to end the inning.  Gage earned the win to move his record to 2-0.  Trent Swart pitched a scoreless seventh.  The Mavericks move their record to 6-0 on the season and begin play in the North County Tournament on Wednesday against Escondido.
