El Toro/Edison Double Header


Tuesday night El Toro and Edison squared off in a day night double header at UC Irvine and ended up splitting the 2 games. Edison came into the game fresh off their Loara Tournament victory along with a #5 ranking in the country according to Baseball America.

Tyler Brashears got the start for El Toro in game 1 and pitched great. He went 6 innings, allowing 2 earned runs, along with striking out 11. He had a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs when a single up the middle turned into 2 runs when a throwing error occured. El Toro couldn't do anything in the top of the 7th and in the bottom, Edison worked a hit by pitch and scored the winning run on a walk off single by Edisons Jon Torres.

Dan James and Ryan Joyce had multi hit games to pace the Chargers and Mitchell Tolman supplied a highlight reel catch in right center.

In game 2, El Toro jumped on Edison in the second inning putting 2 runs on the board and tacking on another in the 3rd. Garrett Mundell took it from there as he went the distance leading the Chargers to the 5-1 win. Garrett limited Edison to 4 hits, striking out 2 and only walking 1.

Offensively Nick Villar supplied 4 rbi's giving El Toro everything they'd need.

With the split, El Toro moves their record on the year to 4-3 and now have 8 days off as they prepare for another double header, this time with Mission Viejo. Venue will be at Saddleback Jr College and game times will be 4:30 and 7:30.
