Eagles sweep Ocean View

The Estancia High boys volleyball team swept visiting Ocean View,

25-13, 25-22, 25-19, to clinch sole possession of the Golden West

League title. The Eagles (23-6, 12-0 in league) have swept every

league opponent they have faced this year.

Coach Tracey Ingraham said tough serves and hard hitting were the

keys to Estancia’s win. Scott Sankey had 12 kills, Kris Hartwell had

nine and Josh Kornegay six to lead the Estancia attack.

Trevor Holmes finished with 29 assists in the match and Brad

Larsen had seven service aces and 11 digs for the Eagles, who will

wait for CIF Southern Section playoff pairings to be announced

Monday.

9-4 in league).

Jordan Salinger was 4 for 5 with two doubles and one RBI for the

winners, who enter the final week one game behind second-place

Thursday at CVC.

Tars bat around in 1st

* BASEBALL: Newport Harbor sent 10 batters to the plate in the

decisive first inning of the Sailors’ 9-3 Sea View League baseball

victory over host Laguna Hills Friday.

Greg Miner went 3 for 5 with two RBIs and three runs scored to

extra-base hits, including three doubles by Andrew Sanford and a

three-run home run by Gary Gonzalez, to a 15-3 Golden West League win

over visiting crosstown rival Estancia (3-18, 0-10) Friday.

Sanford went 4 for 4 with four RBIs and Gonzalez scored three runs

to back starting pitcher Daniel Cooper, who improved to 5-4 with

eight strikeouts and one walk in five innings.

Mesa scored eight in the second inning and five more in the fourth

to claim the perpetual Paul Troxel Trophy that goes to the annual

Big inning for Mesa

* SOFTBALL: The Costa Mesa High softball team exploded for 16 runs

in the fourth inning en route to a 20-2 thumping of visiting Estancia

in a Golden West League game that was stopped midway through the

fifth inning.

alone to help start the Mesa (8-15, 4-6 in league) onslaught. Jane-E

Yamamoto and Ellen Rose both hit three-run doubles in the fourth for

the Mustangs.

Cosa Mesa Coach Sharon Uhl said she thought the 16-run inning is a

school record. Uhl also said that the team is fourth in league and

has a shot for an at-large bid despite forfeiting three league games.

Costa Mesa plays at Westminster Monday and Santa Ana Wednesday.

UCI holds off Mustangs

* BASEBALL: UC Irvine junior right-hander Brett Smith scattered

seven hits in 6 2/3 innings and freshman Blair Erickson earned his
