PACIFIC BEACH — If Mission Bay couldn’t hit a rookie freshman pitcher earlier in the week, what chance would the Buccaneers have against an experienced sophomore in Christian’s Walker Kane.
The result was predictable.
Kane carried a shutout into the fifth inning, while the Patriots sprinted to a 6-0 cushion by the second inning,completing a 3-game, Eastern League sweep of Mission Bay in Friday’s (Apr. 18) series finale, SCORE. sy Dennis Pugh <Memorial Field.
Kane (3-1) lasted 5.1 frames,coming out when the shutout was lost. He struck out four Bucs batters..
Meanwhile, the defense for Mission Bay again failed.
Christian POS Caleb Brierley beat out a ground ball to avoid double play, allowing a run to score just five batters into the contest. And when Bucs pitching added a second and third walk in the inning, the final Ball 4 to Kane forced in another run.
The Patriots added four runs in the second — it was really boring, yet effective.
Included were sacrifice fly balls by Roman Gustin and Brierley , an sun-scoring single from Maximus “Max” Villalva, plus another run on another infield error by Mission Bay.
For the Patriots, Benji Molina batted 3-for-4, with a pair of doubles and scoring twice. Xander Molina and Caleb Brierley each registered two RBI.
Christian (11-7-1 overall,3-0 East) remained deadlocked with Clairemont at the top of the table. The Chieftains completed their own league-opening series sweep of Mira Mesa, 11-0, for their first 3-game sweep of the Marauders in the 21st Century.

At 2-0 in league, the Patriots remain tied for first,but it’s no longer a 3-way deadlock.While Cathedral Catholic won to stay 2-0, St. Augustine was upset by Point Loma, leaving both sides at 1-1 following the first week of league action.
