LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Before the largest crowd in history the Mavericks pulled out a 2-1 victory over South Bay power Eastlake. The win moves the Mavericks into a semi-final contest against the winner of today's Eastlake/RBV elimination game. The Mavericks came out of the gates running yesterday but were unable to capitalize. Andrew Nacario lead off with a triple but was later gunned down at the plate. In the second inning the bats remained hot as Scott Clement doubled off the top of the wall, Nick Diehl doubled into left center, and Pete Bethea doubled to right center. The result was a 2-0 lead for the Mavericks. From then on the bats were held silent as the Titans used four pitchers. The highlight of the game was the pitching of Doug Konoske who hurled a four hit, five strikeout gem. Konoske was dominant in his complete game performance.

With the victory over Eastlake on Friday the Mavericks have tied the all time consecutive win streak at 25. This total ties them with RBV and Grossmont. The 30-1 Mavericks are also one win shy of the CIF Record for the most number of wins in one season (31) set last year by Montgomery.

The Mavericks opened the 2003 CIF Tournament with a 7-4 victory over Chula Vista. The offense banged out 9 hits in the winning effort. The Mavs were led by Michael Scharbarth (2-2, rbi, run). On the mound Drew Logan pitched six strong innings allowing four hits and one run. Logan was relieved by Brian Brehm in the 7th. The win moves the Mavericks into the winners bracket to play Eastlake on Friday @ 4:00 at LCC. The Mavericks move their record to 29-1 on the season.
