El Toro 3, Capo Valley 1

In a match up of South Coast league heavy weights, El Toro took down the Cougars 3-1. Tyler Brashears with a complete game effort for El Toro, limiting the potent Cougar attack to 5 hits, while striking out 6.

Nothing, nothing game till the 3rd, when Sean Nearhoof and Dan James strung together doubles making it 1-0. Mitchell Tolman followed with an rbi single but thats all the Chargers could push across. In the 4th, Cole Tomlinson bunted his way on and eventually scored on a sac fly by James, giving the Chargers their final run.

Brashears took a shut out into the 6th before the Cougars made it interesting by scoring one and loading the bases up with only 1 out. He then induced a ground ball and Matt Chapman and Tim Alhanati turned a 6,4,3 double play to prevent any more damage.

With the win, El Toro moves to 6-3 on the year and undefeated in South Coast League play. They've no time to rest though as they come back on Wednesday against perennial power Dana Hills in a 3:15 match up in Dana Point.
