In the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, the Northview Vikings downed Malibu, 13-2. The Vikings pounded out eleven hits and were aided by seven Malibu errors and four walks.
The Vikings scored two unearned runs in each of the first two innings off starter Jared Weinstock. In the top of the third, a leadoff walk to centerfielder Will Davis and three consecutive hits led to four earned runs and an 8-0 Northview lead.
Malibu got on the board in the bottom of the third. Brooks Fitch led off with an infield hit. With Tony Gwyn running for Fitch, Stephen Williams hit a line drive off the base umpire's foot for a single. After Wilder Philipson struck out, Mike Gwyn grounded to short. Williams was forced at second, but the throw on to first got away allowing Tony Gwyn to score.
With Philipson on in relief of Weinstock, the Vikings added one run in the fourth and two in the fifth to go up 11-1. With one out in the bottom half of the fifth, Williams beat out an infield hit and advanced to second as the third baseman's throw sailed wide of first. A wild pitch moved Williams to third before Weinstock's grounder to third knocked him in.
The Northview scoring barrage ended in the top of the sixth on a two-run homer off Nate Schoenbrun.
For the Sharks, senior Jake Jesson singled and stole a base in his first start. Freshman Dusty Kramer caught the entire game in his first varsity start. Sophomore Stephen Williams, in his first game as designated hitter, went 3-for-3.
The Sharks, now 3-4 on the season, face Santa Clara at home on Tuesday in a Frontier League contest.
