LJ baseball: On a tear

La Jolla's baseball team, after a slow start in Western League play, is now on a tear equal to its early preleague success after an 11-1 waxing of winless Mission Bay at home Thurs., May 14.

Timmy Holdgrafer had four RBI's and Zach Sehgal three as the Vikings pommeled the Bucs (0-11 in league) in rainy conditions on the synthetic surface at Muirlands Middle School.

La Jolla, 1-3 in its first four Western League games, has won five of its last six in league and now finds itself in third place behind Madison and Point Loma at 6-4 with back-to-back games against the Pointers looming next week in the last week of conference play.

The team's bats have come to life in the past few weeks. A team batting average that languished at .237 only a month ago has blossomed into a solid .280 after yesterday's win.

Coach Gary Frank's squad started the season 12-4. Holdgrafer and Weston Clark have continued to be mainstays on the mound, as they work a rotation each week of Timmy, the right-hander, followed by Clark, the left-hander.
