.

It did so again Tuesday for Santa Margarita.
The Eagles made the most of their 3 hits and got a total video game from Collin Clake to defeat Corona

2-1 in a Boras Classic South first-round video game at Mater Dei. Santa Margarita( 15-3) will play Aquinas( 13-2 )in a second-round game Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Mater Dei. Corona( 14-4) will play Cypress (16-5
) in a consolation-round game Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Mater Dei. Tuesday's game, which ended Corona's winning streak at eight video games, matched 2 groups that are high in CIF Southern Section and state rankings. Santa Margarita is
No. 2 and Corona is No. 4 in the CIF-SS Division 1 top 10. The CalHiSports.com California rankings have Santa Margarita at No. 2 and Corona at No. 3. Clarke, a senior right-hander, gave up 6 hits and set out eight. He permitted back-to-back walks in the second inning when Corona got its run. Clarke did not give up a walk after that. "My
coach( Willie Kuhl )talked with me and said,' It appears like you're over-throwing,' "Clarke stated," ‘ so just to attempt to settle in and unwind and strike your areas with your off-speed stuff. '". On the other side,

Corona left-handed pitcher Ethan Schiefelbein was excellent. The senior, who signed with UCLA, struck out 12 in 6 innings, showing a high-octane fastball and positive command of his off-speed pitches
. Santa Margarita scored its very first run in the top of the first inning. With 2 outs Luke Lavin singled, stole second base and scored on Logan de Groot's two-strike single. Corona connected it in the bottom of the second. Jaylen White and Billy Carlson got the back-to-back walks to start the inning. Daniel Rivera's sacrifice bunt advanced White to 3rd base and Carlson to 2nd and Jared Saldana's single made it 1-1. Santa Margarita scored the go-ahead run in the sixth inning. With one out, Blake Wilson strolled and Lavin's opposite-field double dropped just inside the left-field line and moved Wilson to third base. When de Groot's fly to brief center needed Corona center fielder Saldana to make a diving catch, Wilson tagged up and scored without a throw for a 2-1 lead. Eagles coach Chris Malec stated Saldana's diving catch offered a chance his group could not neglect." When (Saldana )left his feet," Malec stated," you've got to dedicate to it and you've got to go.". Corona got base runners in scoring position in the 3rd, fourth and sixth innings but was unable to get

them home. The 16-team competition continues Wednesday and Thursday and concludes with the national championship at JSerra on Friday at 6 p.m.
