Prep baseball: Eagle goes quietly

FULLERTON - Corona del Mar High senior Billy Eagle popped out and

grounded out in his two at-bats Tuesday in the Orange County All-Star

Baseball Game at Cal State Fullerton.

Eagle, a two-time All-CIF Southern Section standout who will play

collegiately at UCLA, started at designated hitter for the South.

The four-year varsity performer popped a 1-2 pitch to the second

baseman in his first at-bat, then grounded out on an 0-1 pitch, before

leaving the game.

Eagle was the first Newport-Mesa player since 1999 to play in the

annual showcase of the county’s top seniors.
