Prep baseball: CdM’s Eagle in All-Star Game

Corona del Mar High senior Billy Eagle, a two-time All-CIF Southern

Section baseball standout, will represent the South in Tuesday’s Orange

County All-Star baseball game, scheduled for 7 p.m. at Cal State

Fullerton.

Eagle, who was named All-Newport-Mesa District Player of the Year as a

sophomore and junior, hit a team-leading .377 as a senior for Coach John

Emme’s Sea Kings, who overcame a 2-5 Pacific Coast League start to finish

tied for third and advance to the CIF Southern Section Division IV

Playoffs.

Eagle, who will continue his career at UCLA, also had hit four home

runs and drove in 22 runs this season. He had six doubles, one triple and

scored a team-high 24 runs in his fourth varsity campaign, en route to

second-team All-Pacific Coast League honors.
