The Grants Pirates baseball team are off to a great start in district play after going 2-0 last week in district play with an 112 rout of the Valenica Jaguars (7-11,0-1) on the road on April 2nd followed by a narrow 4-3 defeat of St. Pius High School on April 5th at home. “I thought we played well after a shaky first inning—once we settled into the game, we pretty much had control of it,” said GHS head coach Mike Furbee of the Valencia game. Pirate notables in that game included pitcher Niko Young who pitched 5.1 innings and had allowed 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned run and 8 strikeouts. Eric Barela Jr., Noah Lundstrom and Dominick Gonzales with 2 RBI’s a piece. Izeyah Manzanares and Diego Lopez had 1 RBI each.
