LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Great baseball comes in many forms.  These decisive plays aren’t always credited in the statistics or boxscore.  Two such plays occurred in the Mavericks 13-10 win yesterday against the Falcon/ Pirate tournament Champion Broncos.  The first unsung hero was Marcos Vera who battled the Bronco pitcher for 12 pitches before eventually lining out to center field.  This quality at bat appeared to tire the opposing pitcher, allowing the slumping Mavs to break through and score 6 runs in the inning.  The second outstanding play occurred in the bottom half of the same inning when an overthrow was backed up by hustling catcher Zach Armstrong, who retrieved the throw down the right field line and threw out the tying baserunner at second.  Offensively the boys finally got on track pounding out 18 hits.  Noteables were: Weston Corica who had 4 hits including a Homerun and a double. Tanner Gage had 3 hits including a double, Andrew Hinkle 3 hits, Danny Martin doubled and tripled.  Josh McMahon recorded a double and a single to go with 3 RBI’s.  On the Pitching side, Nick McAdoo got his first win of the year, pitching 2 innings in relief of Gage. Skyler Redondo notched his first save.
