Prep baseball: Aztecs sweep Mesa

COSTA MESA - Visiting La Quinta High provided a dose of humility

for previously unbeaten Costa Mesa Tuesday, sweeping a nonleague baseball

doubleheader, 9-0, and 6-0, at TeWinkle Park.

Mesa senior catcher Mike Carrasco had both Mesa hits in the second

game, a five-inning contest, after A.J. Perkins and Nathan Hunter

accounted for the Mustangs’ two hits in the first game.

Mesa sophomore Adam Jorgenson pitched two scoreless innings of relief

in the second game, striking out three.

The Mustangs (4-2) host University in the Pacific Coast League opener

Friday at 3:15 p.m.
