LA COSTA CANYON HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

La Costa played El Camino last night in the first game of a 3-game series.  El Camino came out swinging in the first inning and found a way to score 4 runs.  LCC challenged a few times but could not score until the bottom of the 6th when Casinelli led off with a single, Solomon walked, and Davern and McElroy followed with big hits to produce 2 runs in the bottom of the 6th.  Unfortunately that was it for the Mavericks and the game ended with a final score of El Camino 4, LCC 2.

Sachrison started on the mound and took the loss, pitching the complete game.

LCC is now 6-1 in league play and will face El Camino on the road on Saturday in a double-header for revenge of this loss.
