San Diego Lions A Baseball : Coronado Gets In Batting Practice and Forfeits Win

Although the Coronado baseball team soundly defeated Christian, 10-4, in the A Division of the Lions/Mike Morrow Invitational baseball tournament, the game was forfeited to Christian because Coronado took batting practice prior to the game, a violation of CIF rules.

In Coronado’s second game of the tournament, the Islanders downed Carlsbad, 6-4.
