The Anzar Hawks trailed by scores of 4-2 in the third and 7-6 in the fourth before exploding for seven runs en route to a seemingly comfortable 18-8 victory over visiting Marina in Coastal Athletic League action on Tuesday.
It was Anzar’s third straight win over the Mariners. But having previously defeated them by scores of 6-0 and 12-2 already this season, Anzar manager Andrew Barragan said Tuesday’s win was the most difficult.
“They were night and day since the last time we played them,” Barragan said. “They came to play.”
Devon Parish went 2 of 4 with a triple and three runs scored, Tanner McKinney went 2 of 4 with three runs scored, Blake Selsor was 3 of 5 with a pair of doubles and a pair of runs scored, and Brian Fredrickson went 2 of 4 with a double and a run.

While San Benito pitcher Paige Miguel tossed a no-hitter against Everett Alvarez in their previous meeting on April 8, the junior hurler teamed up with Megan Sabattini on Tuesday to combine for a five-inning no-no against the Eagles as the Lady Balers earned a 10-0 victory in Tri-County Athletic League action.
Miguel (2IP, 0H, 0R, 3K, 1BB, 1HBP) and Sabattini (3IP, 0H, 0R, 7K, 0BB, 0HBP) kept the Alvarez bats silent, and limited the Eagles to just two base runners in the game.
AHS Softball
After squandering a one-run lead in the top of the seventh, the Anzar High softball team received a last-minute pick-me-up in the home half on Tuesday when Tiffany Maieluea hit an RBI double to lift the Hawks over Greenfield 9-8 in Coastal Athletic League play.
Maieluea’s hit plated Gabby Medina for the winning run, and improved Anzar to 2-3 overall.
