Prep baseball: Tars drop opener

ALISO VIEJO - The Newport Harbor High baseball team surrendered two

three-run home runs and lost its Sea View League opener, 6-1, to host

Aliso Niguel Wednesday.

Aside from the home runs, Sailors Coach Joel Desguin said his squad,

“played real well defensively.”

“We turned three double plays,” he said. “Adam Cherry did a great job

at shortstop for us and Ryan (Torrey) threw a great game. We are still

struggling with our hitting.”

Newport (2-3, 0-1 in league) returns to Sea View action Friday at 3:15

p.m., hosting Irvine.
