San Diego Prep Baseball : El Camino Turns Triple Play, Then Gets Overturned by Oceanside

SAN DIEGO — El Camino High School turned in a triple play, but Oceanside rallied for a 7-6 extra-inning victory Thursday in Avocado League baseball action.

The Pirates (3-6, 3-15) scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the score at 6 against the visiting Wildcats (2-7, 5-15). After Finney McCarter singled to drive in Henry Jiminez with the tying run, Oceanside had runners on first and second with none out.

The next hitter, Jason Badillo, hit a ground ball to El Camino third baseman Paul PaoPao, who stepped on third base, then threw to Mike Knudson at second base for the second out. Knudson relayed the ball to first baseman Moe Licardo to complete the triple play.

The score remained tied until the bottom of the ninth when McCarter hit a one-out, bases-loaded single to drive in Ken Combs with the winning run. McCarter finished the day with three hits and four RBIs.
