LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

La Costa Canyon beat district rival Torrey Pines 5-4 to advance to next Tuesday's Semi-Final contest against an opponent and site to be announced after Saturday's Loser's Bracket Elimination game. Wes Schiller pitched a gutsy 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking only 1. Wes struck out the side in the top of the first inning and struck out the last batter in the 7th inning for the 3rd and final out with the tying run left at second base. The La Costa Canyon offense was led by Nick Burke with two singles, and a sacrafice fly by Scott Clement, but it was the bench that came through in the bottom of the 5th inning to complete the game winning rally with 2 outs. Pinch hitter Bryan Ernst singled to right field to score Konoske to make it 3-4, and after a walk to Jimmy Pierce, pinch hitter Michael Kenny walked to load the bases and then pinch hitter Cole Ducey hit a hard ground ball that was muffed by the Torrey Pines second basemen to allow the tying and go ahead runs to score. This is the fourth year out of the eight LCC baseball seasons that the Mavericks have advanced to the CIF Semi-finals. 2003 - CIF Champion 2000 - CIF Semi-finalist 1997 - CIF Finalist Records: La Costa Canyon (23-9); Torrey Pines (18-14).
