Allen paces Coast with slick five-hitter

Sophomore left-hander Kyle Allen recorded his second complete game of

the season, striking out 11 while allowing just two earned runs to

lead Orange Coast to a 7-3 win over visiting Saddleback Thursday in

Orange Empire Conference baseball.

Sophomore first baseman Kyle Stanley continued his hot streak,

collecting three hits I four trips, scoring the second of three Coast

runs in the first inning.

Ben Hanna and Dustin Hicks got two runs across with RBI ground

outs, and Collin Stiltz followed a run-scoring single.

Hicks and Stiltz each had two hits and two RBIs, while Ryan Mathes

scored a pair of runs thanks to two walks. Shaffer and Hana also

chipped in with RBIs and a run scored each.
