Baseball: Mesa rolls past Rancho Alamitos

GARDEN GROVE - Nick Cabico picked up right where he left off for

Costa Mesa High’s baseball team in Saturday’s 5-3 win over host Rancho

Alamitos in the Costa Mesa Tournament.

Cabico, who went 5 for 5 in the Mustangs’ last game against Santiago of

Corona, went 4 for 4 on Saturday with a run scored and an RBI, giving him

nine hits in his last nine at-bats.

“I don’t know if that’s some sort of record, but I’m sure it’s gotta be

up there,” Coach Kirk Bauermeister said. “He’s really doing the job for

us.”

Josh Little went 3 for 4 with two RBIs for Costa Mesa (2-1-1), while

Billy Halverson anchored the Mustangs’ defense with solid work at second

base.

The Mustangs will play Los Amigos Tuesday night at 7 at TeWinkle Park.
