EL CAJON – Just two days after seeing their 13-game unbeaten streak come to an end, the Grossmont Griffins got back at Mt. San Jacinto on Saturday in a 13-0 win at Noel Mickelson Field.

Mt. San Jacinto stunned the Griffins on Thursday, pounding Griffins’ pitching in a 13-7 decision.

On Saturday, DAVID MALDONADO homered and kept his incredible run-producing numbers going, while MICHAEL DIFFLEY drove in three for the Griffins with a pair of doubles.

Maldonado connected for a solo shot in the fourth inning.

DONAVAN MCCRYSTAL allowed four hits over seven innings to improve to 5-1 on the season. The sophomore walked two and struck out two.

Catcher TREVOR BEARD had three hits, two RBI and two runs scored.

ERIC DE LA ROSA scored three runs for SoCal seventh-ranked Grossmont (11-1, 16-6-1), which is currently tied for first in the PCAC with Palomar.

In Thursday’s loss, Mt. San Jacinto peppered eight Grossmont pitchers for 13 hits and drew 11 walks in an 18-7 rout. It was Mt. San Jacinto’s first conference win of the season and the Griffins’ first conference loss.

NOAH STROHL hit a two-run homer for Grossmont in the seventh, but the Griffins fell behind 11-2 in the fifth.
