La Jolla bats continued their recent high-scoring ways in City League play Wed., April 22, at Morse, as the Vikings ran around, through, and over the Tigers 15-2.
The victory Wednesday built on Coach Gary Frank's squad's 12-4 win in the first game of the week's three-game series against Morse Mon., April 20.
Two-three-four slot hitters Reed Turner, Joseph Crudo, and Charlie Martin, along with Harper Lane, all drove in a pair of runs apiece as the red-and-black once again piled on for 12 hits.
Will Griebe-Arzate, with his dad recording parts of the game on his phone from behind the backstop, went the distance against Coach Dallas Booker's Tigers, striking out nine, walking only one. The 11th-grader notched his third win against five losses and lowered his ERA to 3.07, yielding both earned runs.
In the first inning, leadoff hitter Carter Strauss singled, then scored on Turner's hit into centerfield. The visitors led, 1-0.
In the second, after Morse tied the game in the bottom of the first, La Jolla scored three more runs. First baseman Ryan Khourajian singled to center. He was picked off by pitcher Moises "Moi" Davison.
Lane then struck out, but he reached base on the mishandled pitch by the Tiger catcher, Tommy Killingsworth. Luke Cripe walked.
Brady Wilson drove a basehit over rightfielder Evan Prihoda's head, driving in Lane. With runners on first and third, Strauss came up to the plate. Wilson stole second base, and Killingsworth's throw was ill-advised and went into centerfield. Cripe came around for the second run of the inning.
Strauss walked. Cripe, nicknamed "Freaky" by his teammates for some unknown reason, popped out to second. Crudo also walked to load the bases.
With Martin, "Chubs" to his mates, at the plate, Brady scored on a passed ball for a 4-1 lead.
