EL CAJON (2-17-17) — For the second time this season Grossmont lost to Chaffey, 7-4 in a non-league game at Noel Mickelson Field on Thursday (Feb. 16).

Chaffey won the game in the 9^th inning on a solo home run by Aaron McCann. Christian Valdez hit a double down the right field line to drive in a run, and Patrick Keller swatted a sacrifice fly to give Chaffey a 7-2 lead.

Grossmont counterpunched with a 2-run homer by ROBERT BOSTEDT in the bottom of the 9^th but it was too little, too late.

The Griffins wasted another solid pitching effort by DONAVON McCRYSTAL, who allowed only 2 earned runs in six innings. He struck out 5.
