La Jolla High baseball wins pair; falls to UC The La Jolla High School baseball team won two of three games in action last week in the City Conference Tournament to improve its season mark to 5-3. The Vikings routed the Lincoln Hornets 17-2, as senior center fielder Robbie Beathard led the way offensively by going 4-for-5 with a double, home run and four RBIs. Robby Ortiz added a three-run homer. On the mound, Josh Desrosiers earned his first victory and David Conde picked up his first save in relief. Patrick Christensen threw a complete game as La Jolla topped St. Augustine 5-1. Christensen scattered six hits and struck out 10 while tying a La Jolla High School record with his 19th career victory. In a 9-2 loss to University City High, Dustin Ouellette suffered his first loss of the season for La Jolla. University City was led by Aaron Tabbiendo (three RBIs), Vince Rizzo (two RBIs), Collin Forgey (two RBIs) and Ryan Waltermire (two RBIs). Waltermire also picked up the win on the mound. “We are making some very good improvements as a team,” La Jolla High head coach Gary Frank said. “We earned a couple of tough wins this week. We still have a lot of room for improvement, but I’m very pleased about our progress thus far.” Cathedral tops La Jolla girls track In Western League girls track action last week, Cathedral Catholic scored an 81 2/3 – 54 1/3 victory over La Jolla High. Both teams had a number of girls who did not run due to illness. La Jolla had seven members who did not participate in all of the events, having just joined the team only three days earlier because of participation in the state soccer playoffs. Top La Jolla performances included Vanora Guerard (long jumper, triple jumper and high hurdler), who is undefeated in two dual meets and two invitationals; Tess Plant-Thomas, who won the 400 meters in a time of 60.22; and Nihal Kayali, who captured the 800 meters in 2:23.50. On Saturday at the Mt. Carmel Invitational, Guerard won the Division II triple jump with a leap of 35’ 9″, which was a whole foot improvement over her previous personal record last Thursday. The jump on Saturday was the fifth best overall between Division I and II entrants. In the 1600, Kayali placed second with a time of 5:07.50.
