Baseball:
Not too long after securing an eighth consecutive Olympic League championship, Maranatha headed to Covina to battle Charter Oak.
And it was all MHS.
The Minutemen dominated in an 18-2 five-inning victory at COHS.
The boys from Pasadena had an 18-3 advantage in base hits and 10 separate players had at least one hit.
Aaron Ledesma got the loss after allowing eight runs on seven hits over 2 1/3 innings.
Ledesma issued three walks and struck out one Maranatha batter.
Josh Proctor went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and five RBIs.
AJ Beltre walked, singled twice, doubled, scored three runs and drove in a pair.
Eric Zdunek went 2-for-4, with a double, two runs and four RBIs.
Gabe Barragan singled twice, doubled, scored a pair of runs and drove in three.
Zach Strickland walked, singled, drove in two and scored.
Thomas Lieb drew a pair of walks, doubled, scored twice and had one RBI.
Beau Stubbs had a pair of singles and runs, and he drove in one.
Yahir Treto walked, singled and scored two runs.
Matthew Kurkdjian walked, singled and scored a pair of runs.
Jacob Yun singled and scored.
Doug Zuniga walked and scored.
Carson Kelly was credited with the win after going three innings and allowing two runs on two hits.
Kelly walked two and struck out five COHS batters.
Julian Salmon drew a first-inning walk, and he scored on a Diego Ramirez double.
Vincent Carillo followed with an RBI single that plated Ramirez.
Michael Zubia’s single accounted for the other COHS base hit on Saturday.
The Chargers have two big games with West Covina to close out the regular season.
If they were to sweep the Bulldogs, they could secure the No. 2 seed out of the Valle Vista League.
