The Oceanside Pirates will challenge the La Jolla Vikings at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Oceanside is headed out to face La Jolla after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Everything went the Pirates' way against San Ysidro on Saturday as they made off with an 11-5 win.
Meanwhile, La Jolla had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over Mission Vista on Friday. The Vikings not only won on Friday, but they posted their biggest win since April 24, 2025 (when they won 10-4).
Charlie Smith got the start for La Jolla and what a start it was: he pitched six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. What's more, Smith posted three strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April of 2025.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Carter Strauss, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hunter Durfee, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one double.
Oceanside beat La Jolla 7-3 in their previous matchup back in April of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Pirates since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
