McKinleyville loses in extra-innings

McKinleyville fought back from a nine-run deficit, but could not close the gap as it lost to Miramonte 10-9 in the opening round of the Fort Bragg Tournament on Friday.

“We played well, but didn’t bring any intensity until late in the game,” said McKinleyville head coach Dustin Dutra.
“The lesson we learned was to start off the game with the same intensity we finished with.”

Jake Masterson was the losing pitcher, recording two walks while allowing one hit and one run.

John Stull led the Panthers at the plate, going 3-for-6 with an RBI.

McKinleyville drops to 1-5 with the loss and continues tournament play today.
