Baseball Recap: Dana Hills Turns Things Around After Road Loss

There's no place like home for Dana Hills, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They had just enough and edged out the San Clemente Tritons 5-4 on Saturday. This was payback for the Dolphins, who suffered a 2-1 defeat the last time these two teams met.

Ryan See was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up a single hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high.
