High School Baseball: CdM falls in nine

CORONA DEL MAR - The Corona del Mar baseball team, fresh off a 6-0

victory over Magnolia Friday, suffered a 3-1 nonleague setback to

visiting Foothill Saturday.

CdM senior Cavan Cuyler pitched through eight innings allowing one

run. Sea Kings senior Wes Hockinson blasted a solo home run, his second

of the season, with two out in the sixth inning to tie the score, 1-1.

The Knights overcame with a leadoff walk, then a batter was hit by a

pitch and a triple came, CdM Coach John Emme said.

“We had four injured players (before the game),” Emme said. “We played

pretty well. Cavan pitched phenomenally through eight innings. We’re

going to get some rest. We don’t play until Thursday. Hopefully, we’ll

heal up. So far things are great. Our pitchers have given up just three

runs in 16 innings.”

CdM (1-1) and Foothill (2-0) rescheduled the game that was slated for

Tuesday, but moved back to Saturday because of expectations of rain.
