Share

Junior Tom Gonzales threw a five-hitter and senior Brandon Golphenee drove in five runs to lead Highland High to a 13-3 victory over host Palmdale in a Golden League baseball game Monday that was called after six innings because of the 10-run rule.

Gonzales (3-2) struck out five and walked two to help Highland (15-6, 9-2 in league play) move into a tie for first place.

Golphenee hit a two-out grand slam in the fifth inning after Palmdale (15-6, 9-2) intentionally walked junior John Santor, who led off the second and fourth with home runs.
