San Pedro capitalized on Carson’s second turnover of the game, scoring on a 36-yard field goal by Donald Jarrin to take a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter of their Marine League opener at San Pedro.

It looked like the Pirates would score midway through the first quarter when a fumbled snap gave San Pedro a first-and-goal situation at the Colts’ five-yard line. But the Pirates fumbled two plays later.

Carson gained the only first down of the first quarter, on a 21-yard run by Ezekial Graham.

San Pedro quarterback Barry Heads completed a 41-yard pass to Joseph Deguchi to help move the Pirates deep into Carson territory, where their drive stalled before the field goal.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
