Ace Timmy Holdgrafer pitched five innings of shutout baseball, limiting visiting Mira Mesa to two hits, and centerfielder James Whelan went two-for-three with three RBI's as La Jolla downed the Marauders 5-1 in a City Conference Tournament game Monday afternoon, March 23.
The Vikings scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning, more than enough, as Holdgrafer (2-0)held Mira Mesa scoreless during his five innings, enough for the win. Holdgrafer was co-MVP with teammate Weston Clark of the recent Bully's East Tournament.
Whelan is hitting .375 through the Vikings' first seven games and leads the team with eight RBI's. His .500 OBP leads the regulars. His OBPS (On Base Percentage Plus Slugging Percentage) is second among regulars to Holdgrafer.
Meanwhile, Timmy continues his excellence of a year ago, when he was named All-Western League during La Jolla's pennant-winning season. He struck out seven Marauders, using 66 pitches during his stint.
Holdgrafer has a microscopic 0.45 ERA, by far the best among staff hurlers.
