The Point Loma Pointers will take on the La Costa Canyon Mavericks in a tournament on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Point Loma 2.6, La Costa Canyon 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Point Loma is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Grossmont just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Wednesday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (5-2), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.
Point Loma saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Phoenix Brant, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one RBI. Michael Hall also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask La Costa Canyon). They were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over Cathedral Catholic on Wednesday. The win was familiar territory for the Mavericks, who have now won three contests in a row.
La Costa Canyon pushed their record up to 6-4 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Point Loma, their loss dropped their record down to 9-3.
