CdM edged

Visiting Tesoro High scored three unearned runs in the top of the

seventh inning and concluded the regular season with a 7-4 Pacific

Coast League baseball victory over Corona del Mar Wednesday.

Steve Tinoco’s grand slam in the third for league-champion Tesoro

(20-6, 14-1 in league) erased CdM’s 3-0 cushion.

Senior Wess Presson slammed a solo home run -- his second of the

season -- in the fifth and finished 2 for 3 for the Sea Kings (16-9,

9-6), who will enter the CIF Southern Section Division IV playoffs as

the league’s No. 2 seed.

Jake Lemmerman added an RBI and run scored while junior Taichi

Maeda, making his first career start at first base, went 1 for 3 with

a run scored for the Sea Kings. Austin Elliott tallied an RBI single.

CIF playoff pairings will be announced Monday.
