Marina wins 4 to take tournament

The Marina High baseball team won four games over a four-day period to win the championship of the Brian Hamilton Tournament in Chino.

The Vikings defeated Damien (7-3), West Covina (5-4) and Chaffey (10-0) before capping their tournament run with a 5-2 title-clinching victory over host Chino.

In the tournament final, sophomore Robert Chavarria doubled and senior Kyle Myers hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning to break a tie and put Marina up 3-1.

In the sixth, juniors Pablo Contreras and Tyler Rinker both doubled to key a two-run inning that upped the Vikings’ lead to 5-1.

Paul Strong was strong on the mound, with a complete-game performance that included 12 strikeouts and just one walk as the junior improved his record to 3-0.
