The Sharks open up the 2007 season tomorrow against the St. Monica High Mariners. The Mariners finished with a 13-11 overall record last year. Their 7-5 league record gave them a third-place finish in the Del Rey League.
Malibu and St. Monica met once last year with the Sharks coming away with a 3-2 victory on April 8. Brooks Fitch pitched four innings in relief of Colbie Bell to pick up the win.
The Saints are led offensively this season by sophomore first baseman Brandon Tobin and senior catcher Taylor Gelbrich. Tobin hit .416 with 2 homeruns and 19 RBIs last season while Gelbrich hit .306 with 2 homeruns and 16 RBIs.
On the mound, senior Giuliano Lepe figures to carry much of the load for the Mariners this year. Lepe started 7 games (including the game against Malibu), giving up 18 runs in 36 innings in 2006.
Tomorrow's game at Malibu High is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m.
