Mike Hazlett Tournament update
Archbishop Mitty won their tourney opener against Palo Alto 7-3.
Preston Caldera broke it open in the 6th inning with an RBI double and came around to score, extending the Monarchs lead to 7-0. Palo Alto managed to scrape together 3 runs against Mitty's bullpen but it wasn't enough. Starter Jerry Sumagit earned the win, scattering 3 hits over 5 innings and issuing just one walk. Mitty will face game 1 winner, Wilcox tomorrow night. The Monarchs will send ace RHP
Tyler Davis (Washington commit) to the hill. Davis threw 6 shutout innings in a scrimmage on Thursday and reportedly looked sharp.
In the tourney opener, regional power Wilcox knocked off Monterey 3-1. LHP Nick Morehead threw a complete game with 10 strikeouts for the Chargers. Wilcox and Mitty will face off in the second round tomorrow night at 7:30.
Today's action features San Benito against Santa Cruz at 4:30. That game will be followed by Santa Clara and tournament host, Wilcox.
