Down to its final three outs in a CIF Division II play-in-round game against San Marcos last week at David Wells Field, Point Loma High School’s (PLHS) baseball team needed someone to step up and prevent an early Pointer exit from post-season play. As it turns out, several players did. Trailing 4-3 in the home seventh inning, Kellen Urbon stirred hope with a single. After Campbell Wear flied out to center, clean-up hitter Jackson Leslie’s double sent Urbon home to tie the game. Sergio Guerra then drew a walk. Sophomore shortstop Justin Baker then lined a 1-1 count pitch down the first base line, and a desperate throw from the Knights’ right fielder eluded his catcher as Leslie sprinted across the plate for a thrilling 5-4 Pointer win. Baker’s walk-off single sent his teammates into a celebratory frenzy as dejected Knights players walked off the field, their season finished (12-17 overall, 6-9 Avocado East league). Urbon, who took over on the mound from starter Connor Baits, pitched a scoreless seventh inning to gain credit for the victory. The next afternoon saw the Pointers traveling to Scripps Ranch to face the Falcons in a first-round game. Urbon started the game and was touched for eight hits while going the distance. He walked two and struck out five Falcons as the hosts used a four-run second inning to claim a 6-3 victory. The Pointers also had eight hits, all singles. Three runs came in a fifth-inning rally, closing the gap to 5-3 before the Falcons added an insurance run in the bottom of the frame. The Pointers (15-14 overall, 8-3 in Western League) were scheduled to face Valhalla (13-17 overall, 7-8 in Grossmont-Hills league) in an elimination game May 27.  The teams had met previously in April, with the Pointers claiming a 5-2 Lions Tournament victory. Besides Urbon, Wear, and Guerra, other seniors on this season’s team include Carlo Rodriguez, Dylan Ruth, Max Sorenson, Cody Harvey and Dylan Morris.
