Sharks Baseball Wins on Senior Day

The Malibu Sharks baseball avenged an early season loss to Carpinteria High School, with a 7-5 win on senior day.

Noah Simon continued his impressive junior campaign by throwing 6 innings for the win. Simon is now 9-1 on the year and 5-0 with one save in league play. 

Seniors Riley McMillin, Alvie Alvarado and Frank Thomas were honored before the game and the Sharks delivered in the game.  

Not only did each senior get a hit, with McMillin and Thomas each getting a single and Alvarardo adding two hits, the seniors also scored and knocked in runs and contributing to the Sharks big win.  

Sophomore Austin George went 1-for-2 with two walks, two RBIs and two runs scored to lead the Sharks offense. Malibu scored 2 runs in the 4th inning, 3 in 5th inning and 2 in the 6th inning to seal the victory for the last home regular season game of the year.

The Sharks will close the season with its last game at Carpinteria on Thursday and wait for the CIF Playoffs to begin.  

The Sharks record breaking season at 23-3, 13-1 in league, and current No. 2 CIF ranking, should land them a good seed for the playoffs with the possibility of hosting a first round CIF playoff game next week at Sharks Field for the first time in school hisotry.

The win today against a playoff bound team in Carpinteria showed the Sharks stayed focused after wrapping up the league championship last week and are not done yet.

Congratulations to a great group of seniors in Riley McMillin, Alvie Alvarado and Frank Thomas for playing in their last regular season home game of their great high school careers.

Well done Sharks! You are to be commended for your hard work and dedication!
