The Mira Costa High School baseball team came up short by a score of 4-3 to Crespi High School at Crespi in the final inning of play on Wednesday.

Going into the eighth inning, Costa and Crespi both had scores of three. Crespi managed to put a couple runners on base from various hits. Finally, a walk-off single gave Crespi the 4-3 win.

Senior shortstop Cooper Griffith went 3-for-4 with a run scored, while senior second baseman Mateo Nieto went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a run batted in. Senior Austin Yamada received a no-decision for the Mustangs. Yamada went five innings and allowed eight hits and three earned runs on the day.

“We played well and fought the entire game,” senior first baseman Jack Webber said. “We just did not get big hits when we needed them, and we did not get the finish we wanted to get.”

The boys will take on El Segundo High School at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in an away game.
