Jeff Dufek San Marcos Baseball Coach on the win: "Our batters fell behind in the count as they executed well against Torrey Pines starting pitcher Eric Van Valkenberg as he did a good job as starting pitcher and went for his fastball and then his breaking ball for strikes." "The home 4th inning was key for us which is a tribute to our veteran players who don't get rattled and to stay focus it is only a 7 inning game."

"Brett Williams did well with the sacrifice bunt as the two runners advanced to 3b and 2b As for Zach Ferrell he is a selfish player hits the first pitch up in the zone working on home runs and sacrifice flies in practice everyday." said Coach Dufek.

"Winning pitcher Holden Carpenter had some good change ups got behind a little bit in the 3rd inning felt more relaxed and did his job." said Coach Dufek
