Tanner DiSibio struck out six in a three-hit shutout to lead Sobrato past second-place Santa Teresa 2-0 Wednesday in a big road win for the Bulldogs.
Sobrato remained less than a game out of the fourth and final playoff spot in the Mount Hamilton Division at 5-8 in league and 7-11 overall.
DiSibio (5-2) allowed zero walks in picking up his fifth straight victory. The junior’s only support came from Conor Havstad and Casey Conforti, who both drove home Eric Guill-Perez while batting 2 for 4. Guil-Perez went 3 for 4 with a double, and Havstad stole two bases.
That was all Sobrato needed for its fourth win in six games.
Santa Teresa Moved to 10-6 and 7-6.
- Del Mar scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat Live Oak 7-6 Wednesday, denying the Acorns a share of second place in the Santa Teresa Division.
Live Oak built a 6-4 lead with the help of three RBIs from Matt Bergantz and two from Adrian Garcia. But the Dons rallied for their first league win in almost a month.
Acorns starter Mitch Hickey went 6 1/3 innings, striking out four and allowing five earned runs on six hits and five walks. John Forestieri went 2 for 3 with a double, upping the junior’s league-best batting average to .469, and Aaron Armijo added two hits for Live Oak (8-10, 5-8).
