Baseball:

Etiwanda needed a win on Friday to have a chance to play for a Baseline League championship next week.

Nico Neri did the heavy lifting.

Neri went the distance and allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits.

He needed 93 pitches to finish what he started and 64 of those went for strikes.

Austin Ziello and Jake Monsen had RBI singles.

Wyatt Mohler went 2-for-4.

Robert Topete walked, singled and scored.

Mason Overacker singled and Hunter Meyer scored.

Etiwanda got to Aidan Cube for two runs on three hits over 3 1/3 innings.

Cube walked two and fanned three.

Conor Donlin surrendered three runs (two earned) on three hits.

Donlin went 2 2/3 innings, didn’t issue a walk and struck out one EHS batter.

Anthony Huezo went 3-for-4, scored twice and had one RBI.

Brady Ebel walked, doubled and scored a pair of runs.

Tyler Shigenaka singled and drove in two.
