Announcement
Playing at Carlsbad in the 2nd game of the series, La Costa jumped out in front with a run in the top of the 1st on a single by Martin followed by an RBI hit by Solomon. Both teams threatened, but neither team could cross the plate until the 6th when Carlsbad got on the board with a run.
Neither team scored in the 7th, and the game went in to extra innings. The Mavs scored in the 8th when Schupp led off with a single, Casas moved him to 2nd on a sac bunt and Lyon hit him in with a line drive basehit. The Lancers answered in the bottom of the 8th with a solo homerun. The Mavericks scored 2 runs in the 9th when Carlsbad helped the cause with an inning-opening fielding error that allowed Hinkle to reach 1st, Winters and Miller both followed with basehit singles. Schupp then pushed 2 runs across the plate when he put the ball in play with bases loaded to score 2 runs. The Mavs held Carlsbad in the bottom of the 9th to win 4-2. The defensive play of the game goes to Robby Schupp for a diving, ESPN-Top-10, catch in deep right center field to end Carlsbad's rally in the 8th inning.
Andrew Hinkle pitched 7 outstanding innings. Carter Johnson got the win with 2 strong innings of relief.
These teams will face off again on Saturday in the rubber game of the series. The 2012 Avocado League West Championship will be at stake.
