In other AA Division games:

Santana 5, San Marcos 0--Jerry Botts (3-0) allowed five hits in five innings and Lance McClure (first save) just one in two innings to combine for the shutout at San Marcos (6-8). Santana improved to 12-3.

Valhalla 14, Crawford 3--Valhalla (9-8) took an 8-0 lead in the first inning at Valhalla, and later Scott Lapinski hit a two-run homer for the Vaqueros, who will play USDHS today for a semifinal berth. Both Valhalla and USDHS are 2-0 in the tournament.

USDHS 13, El Camino 0--Jeff Desjardins--two for four with five RBIs--hit a grand slam to spark a nine-run fifth inning. David Sanchez went four for four with three RBIs for USDHS (12-3).

Escondido 3, Mar Vista 2--Pitcher Ted King (1-1) helped his own cause with a game-winning triple to right center in the bottom of the seventh inning. Brandon Sherman led off the inning with a single and scored on King’s hit. In seven innings, King allowed just two hits. Escondido (7-6) will play Mission Bay today for a semifinal berth.

Torrey Pines 3, Mission Bay 0--Shaw Henderson came within one out of a no-hitter against Mission Bay, the defending A division Lions champion. Buccaneer center fielder Marlon Gardingra looped a hit between Torrey Pines’ infielders and outfielders with two outs in the seventh to end Henderson’s no-hit bid. Marshall Bosler and Britton Scheibe each went three for four for Torrey Pines (6-8). Mission Bay fell to 6-7.

San Pasqual 7, University City 0--University City led 5-4 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, when San Pasqual Coach Bill McAllister noticed a University City player, who had advanced to first after being hit by a pitch, wearing a necklace. Because the rules forbid players to wear jewelry during a game, the player was ejected and the Centurions, having used all their substitute players, were forced to forfeit the game.

“In all my years of coaching, I’ve never seen this happen,” McAllister said. San Pasqual (4-8-1) was losing at the time, but University City’s forfeit gives the Golden Eagles a 7-0 victory.

Hilltop 15, Madison 7--Paul Stojsavljevic was two for three and drove in three runs and teammate Jorge Munoz went two for three with two RBIs for Hilltop (10-4). The Lancers can advance to the semifinals with a victory over San Pasqual today.

Jose Gonzales opened the top of the ninth with a single, took second on an error and moved to third on a single from Fitzgerald. Gonzalez later scored with two outs when the Warriors worked a double steal. San Diego fell to 10-4.
