Mesa’s Millian earns MVP

Andy Dawson drove in the game-winning run and Justin Reyes pitched

the seventh inning for the save to give the Costa Mesa 13-year-old

Pony baseball team a 5-4 victory over host Cypress in the Cypress Pre

All-Star tournament Friday.

Andrew Niles started for Mesa and was relieved by Andrew Millian,

who earned the win and was later named the game’s Most Valuable

Player by tournament officials.

Juan Guzman, Bryan Bennett, Luke Boulger, Reyes, Millian and Niles

each made strong defensive plays while Reyes led the way on offense

with two hits, two runs scored and one RBI.

Bennett, Millian, Phillip Weber and Nick DiPietro also contributed

to the offensive attack.

Red Wings come up short

* ROLLER HOCKEY: Rusty Sary’s goal with nine seconds left in

regulation tied the game, but the Red Wings eventually fell to the

Kings in overtime, 4-3, for the fifth-grade Boys and Girls Club of

the Harbor Area roller hockey championship.

Logan Newett stopped 22 shots and the Red Wings were led by

another goal from Sary and one from J.P. Muller.

The Kings defeated the Red Wings, 7-1, in earlier tournament

action.

The Red Wings reached the final with two wins over the Blues. Sary

scored twice and was aided in the goal column by Harrison Rolfes,

Muller and Jared Cassidy in a 5-0 first-round victory over the Blues.

The defense of Corbin Kay and Hannah Toohey helped Newett earn the

shutout.

The Red Wings then defeated the Blues, 6-2, with goals from Sary

and Cassidy.
