EL CAJON – Granite Hills’ senior southpaw DILLAN SHRUM is making a major comeback following a shoulder injury earlier in the season at just about the right time. He pitched a 4-hit complete game shutout and struck out 9 while walking only 2 in a 5-0 win over Santa Fe Christian win on Wednesday.
In spite of his lengthy injury Shrum still boasts a 7-2 record. He’s been missing from the lineup for more than a month but returned to the Granite Hills’ lineup for San Diego Section Division I playoffs. He was 0-for-3 against Santa Fe Christian but it didn’t matter because his pitching was so solid.
TREVOR HAZELHURST rounds third base on a solo home run.
Granite Hills got a key hit from TREVOR HAZELHURST who slashed his 2nd solo home run of the season.
BLAKE ST. CLAIR was 2-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI.
TREVOR OMAHEN cashed in a pair of runs on two sacrifice flies, as Granite Hills had three sac flies on the afternoon.
