MIRA MESA RECORDS 2ND STRAIGHT 9-5 WIN OVER EASTLAKE
(from Eastcountysports.com)
MIRA MESA 9, EASTLAKE 5 – Due to a coincidence in scheduling, the Marauders were given a road game at Eastlake for Tuesday's Falcon Fiesta contest long after Wednesday's (Mar. 21) non-league was already scheduled.
Nevertheless, both contests finished with identical 9-5 finals, which may make future record-keepers dazed and confused when reviewing the records.
And in a repeat effort, Mira Mesa slugger KATIYANA MAUGA bombed another late-inning home run, this time sending a 2-run shot down the left-field line in the 6th inning in the Marauders' wire-to-wire victory.
"The ball shot right down the line and landed well beyond the fence," said head coach BRAD GRIFFITH. "She's just starting to warm up this season, pounding the ball."
Mauga also added a run-scoring single, finishing with three RBI against the Titans. Meanwhile, LANI VANTA added three hits and scored twice.
Mira Mesa shot to a quick 3-0 lead before Eastlake received its first chance at the plate.
Vanta and Mauga sandwiched basehits around a Titans error to load the bases. TANI LEASAU followed with a grounder to the right side to open the scoring, then QUIRISA MAUGA followed with a 2-run single.
Leading 4-2, the Marauders added four additional runs in the 5th, two coming home courtesy of a basehit by AMBER CORDERO.
