Seahawks top Mesa

Costa Mesa High pitcher Justin Petersen fanned seven of the first

eight hitters he faced, but some Mustang errors opened the floodgates

to allow visiting Ocean View to claim a 12-1 baseball victory

Saturday.

The game remained scoreless until the Seahawks (7-0 in league)

scored three unearned runs in the fifth. Another Mesa error fueled a

three-run sixth for the hosts, who scored six in the seventh off a

Mustang reliever to blow the game wide open.

Peterson finished with nine strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Sophomore shortstop Alex Pisarski was 3 for 3 to account for half

of Costa Mesa’s hits. He scored the hosts’ lone run on Steve Doerr’s

RBI single in the sixth.

Costa Mesa (7-11, 1-5 in league) returns to Golden West League

action Tuesday at Saddleback at 3:15 p.m.
