Scouting Report: Mary Star of the Sea

Malibu takes on the Mary Star of the Sea High School Stars in the second game of the Royal Tournament. Like the Sharks, the Stars scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning of their season-opening game to record a come-from-behind win. Mary Star defeated Garfield, 4-1, on Friday behind solid pitching performances by starter Peter Ciaramitaro and reliever Nick Gioiello and a walk-off grand slam by Robert Abordo.

The Stars were 13-11 overall last season with a 7-8 record in the Camino Real League. At home, Mary Star compiled a 10-3 record.

Ciaramitaro and fellow senior Johnny Cigliano are expected to carry much of the offensive load for the Stars this season. Juniors Danny Martinez, Nick Gioiello and Nick Rukavina are also expected to contribute offensively.
