Lobos rally past Eagles

Estancia High junior starting pitcher Brad Young belted a two-run

homer to center field in the first inning to stake himself to an

early lead and entered the fifth with the game tied, 2-2.

But host Los Amigos erupted for five hits and five runs in the

fifth and pulled away for an 11-5 nonleague baseball victory

Wednesday.

Young was 3 for 4 with four RBIs to pace the 10-hit Estancia

attack. Greg Hughes was 2 for 4 with a run and Cullen Crom also went

2 for 4 for the Eagles, who fell to 1-4.

Los Amigos, coached by former Estancia assistant Dave Austin,

improved to 3-3.

Estancia plays crosstown rival Costa Mesa tonight at 7 at TeWinkle

Park in a nonleague game that, along with the two schools’ two Golden

West League meetings, will decide the winner of the Paul Troxel

Trophy, a perpetual award that goes to the series winner.
