For years, Kris Paulino from Tesoro, Kyle Hunt from Capistrano Valley and Austin Saenz from Mission Viejo have been good friends, playing baseball together on the same teams or against each other, so it was only fitting that on letter of intent day, they got together and celebrated.

Paulino signed with UC Irvine, Hunt with Nevada and Saenz with Cal State Fullerton.

But most important, they have used baseball to grow closer together even though they play for different high schools. That’s the magic of sports and friendship.
