Sailors drop 19-11 decision

Newport Harbor High’s host Sailors racked up 11 runs on eight hits,

led by Jon Vandersloot’s 3-for-5 performance with three runs scored, a

triple and an RBI, but it was far from enough as Irvine swept to a 19-11

victory.

The Sailors (4-14), still seeking their first win after 10 league

starts, were victimized by 19 Irvine hits, coupled with eight Newport

errors and eight free passes.

Irvine’s Vaqueros slugged two home runs and four doubles.

The Sailors will try to regroup for Monday’s game at league-leader

Laguna Hills, which starts at 3:15.
