It remains to be seen how long Crespi (8-3) can stay alive in this high-profle tournament while playing so unevenly, but a similar performance against St. John's of Washington, D.C. -- a 9-4 winner over Vista Murrieta -- in the semifinals at 8 tonight could mean trouble. "The old coach wasn't too happy today," Crespi coach Scott Muckey said. "The part that bothered me was giving up errors to the bottom part of the lineup A criminal investigation technique in which the police arrange a number of individuals in a row before a witness to a crime and ask the witness to identify which, if any, of the individuals committed the crime. . -- But we're a good, solid defensive team. We don't make errors. A game like this comes once every 15 or 20 games." Crespi was always in control, jumping to an early six-run lead, and somehow that made the errors OK. "I guess maybe when we got a 6-0 lead, we were a little too up," said Sean Gilmartin, who delivered a three-run home in the first inning in·ning n. 1. a.

Hard-throwing left-hander Ryan Hawthorne pitched a scoreless seventh for the save. "We just always tried to keep things positive, and we got a lot of support from all the guys on our bench," Hawthorne said. "Yes, we made some errors, but we feel like we can beat any team in the USA if we play our best." Esperanza's Gary Apelian was 2 for 4 with two RBIs and a run, and he pitched the final inning, allowing no runs and no hits. "We treat every team like we're playing the best, no matter who it is," Apelian said. "I thought Crespi played well. The got the hits in clutch situations. Six runs was a lot, but we just kept chipping away." gerry.gittelson@dailynews.com |
