Ty Borgogno singled twice, drove in a pair of runs and scored once.
Mate0 Matthews went 2-for-4, and Luke Solis singled and scored.

College Baseball: In game one of a three-team double elimination super regional, former South Hills pitcher Matt Lorenzano found himself on the mound at Palomar College, and Mt.

Baseball: The Travis Kelly era is officially underway at Los Osos High School. In just his second year, the 37-year-old Grizzlies’ skipper led the program to their most wins (19) since 2013.
