CHULA VISTA – Grossmont’s ROBERT BOSTADT continued his recent offensive assault with a three-run triple in the third inning to lead the Griffins to their eighth-straight result without a defeat, clinching the week series with Southwestern with a 7-2 win on Thursday.

BOSTADT

Bostadt, named a Pacific Coast Athletic Conference Men’s Athlete of the Week for the week of February 27 through March 5 earlier in the week, drove in NOAH STROHL, REECE HERNANDEZ and DAVID MALDONADO to make it 4-1.

JUSTIN BURKEY drove in Bostadt with a double in the inning, as Strohl reached on an RBI walk, as the Griffins scored five runs in the frame to erase the Jaguars early 1-0 lead.

In the eighth, ERIC DE LA ROSA drove in two more runs with a single.

Bostedt, a sophomore out of Granite Hills High, was just 1-for-5 on Thursday, but went 9-for-14 with a home run, 2 doubles, 3 steals and 3 RBIs as Grossmont opened defense of its 2016 conference championship with 3 straight wins (6-2, 3-1 and 14-5) over San Bernardino Valley last week.

In Saturday’s final game of the series, Bostedt went 5-for-6 with a homer, double and 3 singles to up his batting average to .379 on the season. He is currently hitting .364.

UNLV-bound sophomore DONAVAN MCCRYSTAL (3-1), out of West Hills High, had a solid outing despite not recording a strikeout, delivering 6 2/3 innings, scattering seven hits and a pair of walks, allowing just one earned run.

Freshman HAYDEN SHENEFIELD went 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief.

Southern California 17th-ranked Grossmont currently is already atop the PCAC at 5-0, tied with Palomar and Mesa, and 10-5-1 overall. The teams conclude the series on Thursday at 2 p.m.
