Breakers fall to Titans
The long ball went a long way Monday in the Pacific Coast League
baseball finale for Tesoro and Laguna Beach.
The host Breakers got big-time home runs by Alex Wilson and Grant
Harrell, but neither could overcome a red-hot hitting Tesoro team
that pounded out six home runs en route to a 14-3 victory.
Laguna got off to a promising start in their final game of the
season.
After Wilson sent the Titans down in order in the top of the first
inning, he aided his cause by belting a two-run home run to give the
Breakers a 2-0 lead.
A shift in the wind at the start of the second inning ensured that
Laguna’s lead wouldn’t last long.
Tesoro hit all six of its home runs in the second inning, several
of which were simple pop-ups that the wind took over the short fence
in left-centerfield.
The Titans used those six homers to produce eight runs.
Harrell hit a solo homer for Laguna in the third inning.
Three days earlier, Laguna dropped a 13-1 home decision to
Northwood.
Harrell also hit a solo homer in the game, this one coming in the
fifth inning, to give Laguna its lone run.
The visiting Timberwolves took control from the start, scoring two
runs in each of the first two innings before busting out with a
six-run third inning for a 10-0 lead.
Previously, Laguna was blanked by host Tesoro, 5-0.
Despite the loss, Harrell pitched a strong game in giving up six
hits and striking out 11.
Three of Tesoro’s runs were unearned.
Laguna ended its first season under head coach Tom Faris with an
overall record of 5-19.
The Breakers went 3-12 in PCL play.
