Estancia falls, 12-3

COSTA MESA - Estancia High’s baseball team returns to the Eagles’

diamond today at 11 a.m. against the loser of the Bolsa Grande-Orange

Lutheran duel following a 12-3 loss to Pacifica in the first round of the

Newport Elks Tournament Friday.

Coach Doug Deats sent five pitchers to the mound, but the Eagles could

not put a lid on Pacifica’s 15-hit attack.

Paul Flory started and took the loss, and he’ll be back on the mound

again today for the razor thin Eagles.

Estanica avoided a shutout loss with a three-run burst in the sixth

inning, triggered by a leadoff single from J.B. Goff and two one-out

walks to Justin Lund and Flory, which set up RBI singles from Tony

Ippolito and Jermaine Snell. Tyler Hoffman got the other run across when

he was hit by a pitch.
