SAN DIEGO (2-24-17) — Grossmont College sophomore center fielder leadoff batter DAVID MALDONADO came out swinging like a clean-up hitter as the Griffins clipped San Diego 13-9 on Friday (Feb. 24) at Morley Field.

Maldonado
Maldonado, from Temecula Valley, was almost untouchable with his 4 hits and 7 RBI.
He came up a single short from hitting for the cycle, but came through with a 4-for-5 effort, 7 RBI and 2 runs scored. He slashed a home run, 2 triples and a double.
ROBERT BOSTEDT was 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI.
JUSTIN BURKEY was 2-for-4 and had 2 RBI, and TREVOR BEARD drove in one and JALE SIM plated another.
On Saturday (Feb. 25) the Griffins tied the Long Beach Vikings in a game that was halted after 11 innings.
Those who would like to guess should know that Maldonado was 1-for-5.
After going 2-for-4 against San Diego, Burkey was 2-for-5 with an RBI against Long Beach City.
The game was halted by darkness.
The Griffins are 6-5-1 after they defeated San Bernardino in the conference opener on Tuesday by the score of 7-2.
Grossmont is 3-0-1 over its last four games. The Griffins face San Bernardino again on the road today (Thursday) at 2 p.m. before returning home to play them on Saturday at noon.
