Pinney’s Three-Hitter Helps Tritons Win Tournament

Junior Billy Pinney pitched a three-hitter to lead San Clemente to a 1-0 victory over Fontana Miller in the championship game of the Pride of the Coast baseball tournament Saturday at San Clemente.

The tournament final was postponed from an earlier date because of rain.

Pinney (5-3) struck out seven and worked out of a first-and-third jam with one out in the sixth, inducing a ground-ball double play.
