San Marin hurlers shut out TL

Senior John Holtz had perfect timing Tuesday at the plate to help San Marin. The rain held off long enough for Holtz, who was 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and two RBI. The Mustangs took advantage of nine walks and scattered seven hits, including a triple by senior Jake Whitlock.
Senior David Skaggs took over the mound from starter Anthony Scheppler in the second inning, and held the Trojans to just two hits over four innings for the win. Skaggs struck out eight batters and walked one.
