Estancia 3, Calvary Chapel 1COSTA MESA — Josie Flores went the distance in the Orange Coast League game Friday, allowing three hits and no earned runs as Estancia Coach Alan Caouette said the Eagles claimed their first league championship in at least 11 years.

“It’s huge. I was shocked it’s been that long,” said Caouette, whose team will advance to the playoffs for the first time during his three years as the varsity coach. “We had some good players in the past.”

Estancia (16-6, 7-0 in league) has benefited from Flores (14-4) in league play, as she’s won every game. She struck out four Calvary Chapel batters.

Abby Koff went two for three with two doubles and one RBI, Amy Hartwell went two for four with one RBI, and Taylor West had a one-run double that proved to be the eventual game-winner for the Eagles.

Estancia plays at Laguna Beach on Monday at 3:15 p.m.

University 13, Corona del Mar 6Eight inningsCORONA DEL MAR — Jake Lemmerman was two for four with three RBIs, but the Sea Kings lost a 5-1 lead and suffered a Pacific Coast League setback that might cost them the league title Friday.

Corona del Mar (18-7) ends the league season at 8-4 and will hope Laguna Hills (7-3) will lose at least once next week in its two games against Irvine. That would give the Sea Kings a share of the PCL title.

The Hawks defeated Irvine, 13-5, March 30. Laguna Hills plays at the Vaqueros’ diamond Monday, then will play host to Irvine on Wednesday.

“I don’t think there’s a chance they drop two,” Corona del Mar Coach John Emme said.

Emme also said he was frustrated with the Sea Kings’ five errors and several unearned runs allowed by Corona del Mar. University scored an unearned run in the seventh to send the game into extra innings.

The Trojans, who had 19 hits, scored seven runs in the eighth.

The Sea Kings end the regular season with a game at Bellflower Monday at 3:15 p.m.

TRACK AND FIELD

Sunset League finalsHUNTINGTON BEACH — Jessica Robson won three events and broke a school record in the long jump, but the Newport Harbor High girls lost the league title by half of a point Friday.

Robson won the long jump with a leap of 18 feet, 1 1/2 inches, breaking the former record of 18-1, which was set about 30 years ago Newport Harbor Coach Eric Tweit said. Robson also won the high jump in 5-4 and the 100 meter hurdles in 15.81 seconds to help the Sailors finish with 107.5 points. Fountain Valley scored 108 to win the league title.

Newport Harbor senior Allison Stokke won the pole vault (12-8) and Laura Clayton won the triple jump (36-11 1/2 ) to qualify to the CIF Southern Section Division II preliminaries May 12 at Moorpark High. Clayton also qualified in the 100 hurdles (17.15).

Also qualifying for the Sailors were sophomore Lillie Berry (second in 400, 50.65 and third in 200, 26.68), Taylor Bryson (third, 1,600, 5:07.65), freshman Kirby Burnham (second, 300 hurdles, personal-best 49.66) and the 4x400 relay team, finished third in 4:05.24. The relay team consisted of Kayla Henrie, Lauren Maddox, Christina Cooley and Berry.

Also, in the 3,200,Sophia Ditty (third, 11:18.05), Desiree Alexander (fifth, 11:19.65) and Melissa Mead (sixth, 11:20.10) qualified.

“The real bummer was that Cassidy Gayner, in the 300 hurdles, hurt her hamstring this week,” said Tweit, who was frustrated the Sailors were so close to winning the league title. “That was probably worst than not winning the meet, because we had a real good girl miss CIF.”

On the boys’ side, Newport Harbor had five Sailors qualify for CIF, including Sunset League champion Rex Nelson, a junior who won the 1,600 in a personal-best 4:26.3. The Newport boys finished fifth at the meet and Los Alamitos won the league finals.

Junior Murphy Hitchcock finished second in the 200 in 2:01.77, while sophomore Jake Dawson finished third in the 3,200 in a personal-best 9:54.2.

In the discus, freshman Cecil Whiteside and junior Nate Talbott also qualified for next week’s meet with personal recordss. Whiteside took second (157-3) and Talbott third (154-4).
