High School Baseball:
It’s early, but the Bonita baseball program has already picked up a ‘character’ win.
The Bearcats were trailing by two runs in the top of the seventh inning some 44 miles from home.
But they rallied to send it to extra innings, thanks to a solo home run by Ryan Kozma to tie the game at 4-4.
Five innings later, Bonita would defeat El Toro, 5-4, in 12 innings after Jordan Sheridan got hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded.
Luke Mistone went the first five innings for Bonita without allowing a run.
He surrendered just three hits, walked one and struck out nine.
Seth Wrightstone mowed down the Chargers in the 11th & 12th innings to pick up the win.
He walked one and struck out three, without allowing a base hit.
Zack DenDekker walked, doubled twice, scored and had one RBI.
JT Priest went 2-for-4, with a run in the loss.
Colin Zerfass singled twice, drove in a pair of runs and scored a run.
Johnny Claycomb got the loss for El Toro after allowing a 12th-inning run.
Ryan Kozma was having a so-so game until the seventh inning, having walked once.
But as mentioned above, he tied the game with a solo shot down 4-3, and then led off the 12th inning by drawing a base on balls.
When Jordan Sheridan got hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded, Kozma scored what turned out to be the game-winning run.

He walked twice, singled, homered, scored twice and drove in two runs.
