LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Again the Mavericks were led by strong defense and steller pitching as they cruised to a 13-4 victory over visiting Santana. Jimmy Voaklander earned his first victory of his varsity career going 4 innings allowing four earned runs. In doing so Jimmy gave up 6 hits, striking out 4. Garrett VanLeeuwen finished the game going three strong innings in relief. The Mavericks offensively banged out `8 hits in route to a five run first and six run third. They were led by a host of Mavericks: Nick Burke (3-4, 2 R, RBI), Kevin Patterson (2-3, 2R, 3 RBI), Chris Smith (2-2, R, 2RBI), and Travis Jones (2-2, 2RBI, Sac). Those two big innings were all the Mavericks would need as they moved to 2-0 in pool play, and 9-3 overall. The Mavericks finish pool play tomorrow against Rancho Bernardo at LCC 3:00. The winner will play at San Diego Mesa Junior College tomorrow at 10:00.
