CdM knocks off Irvine, 14-4

Eleven players got at least one hit and the Corona del Mar

14-year-old Pony All-Stars won their second straight game of the

Cypress Tournament, this time a recent 14-4 triumph over Irvine.

Vinnie St. John pitched three scoreless innings and added three

hits while earning the game’s Most Valuable Player recognition.

Tyler Brady pitched well over the next three innings and Michael

Ford relieved in the seventh to close out the victory.

An RBI triple by Kyle LeGrand keyed a seventh-inning offensive

attack by CdM. Also in the inning were RBI doubles by Ford, St. John

and Blaine Nielsen.

Grant Heffernan and Reagan Riley added two hits apiece while

Brady, Ford, Bobby Manning, David Wheatley, Connor Whalen and Chris

Rosen all had singles.

CdM defeated Fountain Valley, 4-3, in the tournament opener June
