FULLERTON (2-1-17) — The visiting Grossmont College Griffins stacked up a 4-2 win over previously unbeaten Fullerton on Tuesday (Jan. 31) in Orange County.

The Griffins took a 1-0 lead as MICHAEL DIFFLEY scored on a wild pitch.

After Fullerton tied the game in the third inning, the Griffins rebounded for 3 runs in the fifth inning keyed by a home run from DAVID MALDONADO – a left field shot over the left field fence put the Griffins in front to stay.

The fifth inning continued when NOAH STOHL doubled to center field to drive in a run to make it 3-1.

NICO NAVARRO followed suit as he cashed in Diffley.

The Griffins (2-1) featured solid pitching led by DONAVON McCRYSTAL (1-0), who allowed 2 hits and 1 run.

TREVOR ROW, MATTHEW TAYLOR, COOPER COPELAND, JEREMIAH BARR each pitched one inning to save the victory.
