    Jupiter's toughest game was their 7th inning, 6 run rally to beat La Costa Canyon 10-7.

    In the semi-finals Jupiter beat Montgomery 6-4 to advance to the Championship Game.

    In the finals Jupiter over came a complete game 10 strike out performance by Torrey Pines' Swanson to take the Classic Division Trophy back to Florida.

    In the other semi-final game Torrey Pines beat Elk Grove of the Sacramento, Ca area  by racing out to a 6-0 lead and holding on to win 6-4.

The boys from La Costa walked on to the Westview Freshman baseball diamond with feelings that they had some unfinished business from their last trip down to the windy field at Westview.  Playing with intent to revenge an early season loss, the Mavericks walked away with a 9-2 win.  

Kyle Sachrison pitched from start to finish throwing his first complete game of the season.  In the first inning he gave up 3 hits and 2 runs, but after that he settled in and threw a tremendous game giving up no walks and just 2 hits in the last 6 innings of the game.

Westview threw their big and best lefty, but La Costa teed off on him in the first for three big runs.  The offense had 12 hits on the day and was lead by Solomon with 4 hits.    Other hitters included Casas, Casinelli, Curtis, Davern, Miller, and Winters.

The Mav's are now 4-0 in the Pacific Classic Tournament and are headed toward a crash course finish against Carlsbad in the Championship Game.

  In the Thursday afternoon consolation game, Trent Swart (3-0) pitched a complete game shut out with 9 strike outs, while catcher Will Swanner blasted a solo home run (4th) and a double to lead the Mavericks to a 1-0 win over Bishop O'Dowd to finish a very tough tournament. The Mavericks only loss was to the Tournament Classic Division Champion, Jupiter, Florida.

Playing on their home field, the Mavericks were swinging big bats as they beat the Freshman from Great Oaks by a score of 13 - 2.   The Mavs batted around in two innings and produced nine hits including GRAND SLAM HOMERUNS by both Solomon and Davern.  

Shayne Davern threw four strong innings, striking out eight batters.  Relief was provided by Brody Curtis and Kyle Morris.  All pitchers were backed by strong defense in the field.

The team is now 3-0 in the Pacific Classis Tournament.  Next up will be West View.
