El Toro Versus San Clemente - Game 3

Well I guess you can cancel that parade!

San Clemente -10
El Toro - 1

Might be hard to believe, but this was close for most of the game. El Toro went up 1-0 in the first when Collins scored on a passed ball. San Clemente answered back in their half on a couple hits, then a pitchers dual broke out.

Jordan Wirth, while not having his best stuff, showed his "wirth" by battling the Tritons, and while San Clemente threatened, he was backed up by good defense and we went to the bottom of the 5th still tied 1-1. In the fifth, Jordan got the first 2 outs and then a loud "pop" came from the San Clemente dugout....... Little did we know the Triton manager had opened a can of whup ass and then all heck broke loose. A walk, a double, a home run, another walk, another double and the undersea kings had taken a 5-1 lead.

ET threatened to score in the 6th on hits by Meager and Tredwell, but a timely double play shut any hopes of a rally down. In the bottom of the 6th, after a pitching change, I think the wind shifted to going out, as the Tritons hit 2 more home runs and the rout was on.

While the Chargers only scored that 1st inning run, there were some nice at bats and plays on the day. Meager and Tredwell both had 2 hits. Andrew Kincade hit well and Devin Schaefers had a hit along with some nice glove work in the field.


Next up for the Chargers is a home game on Thursday against Cypress High School. Start time is slated for 3pm.

Thanks for the write up Bill, great to have someone in the program letting us know what's going on!

I don't even waste my time going to the El Toro website anymore, that's useless. All they show is what varsity did a couple years ago.

Please keep us informed.

I agree 100% with Tom's comment above. Thanks for giving us a way to follow what's going on with the program.

Is that a Patriots hat you have on in your photo??
