Timmy Holdgrafer's walkoff basehit in the bottom of the ninth inning gave La Jolla's baseball team a 2-1 home victory over Brawley in the season opener Tues. afternoon, March 10. The Viking win came in the first game of the annual Bully's East Tournament.

LJHS Coach Gary Frank used a passel of hurlers in the extra-inning contest who limited the Wildcats to one run. Holdgrafer was the opening day starter and went three innings. Trenton Fudge, newly returned to the baseball program this season, got the win in relief by pitching the top of the ninth.
