San Diego Prep Baseball : Mira Mesa Hits Big, but Bobbles Give Christian Win

Mira Mesa almost won a game with its bats Thursday, but instead gave away the game with six errors as Christian won, 7-6, in the Crawford tournament.

After rallying from a 5-1 deficit to take a 6-5 lead, Mira Mesa lost when Christian scored two runs on miscues by the two players who had keyed the five-run comeback.

Mira Mesa catcher Mark Robert, who had four runs batted in, was charged with a passed ball and pitcher Mike Eicher, who had a home run, committed the throwing error that let the winning run score.

Christian plays at University City in the semifinals today at 3 p.m. Crawford plays at Serra in another 3 p.m. semifinal.
