The Palisades Pirates, a 10-and-under travel team, traveled east to Chino Hills last Sunday to play the Chino Hills Red in a California Competitive Youth Baseball game and won, 17-3. The Pirates pounded out 23 hits, including four apiece by Matt McGeagh and Ezra Steinberg. Brothers Matt and Jack McGeagh, Steinberg and Matt Douglas each hit a home run for the Pirates. Pirates Manager Pat Vastano used six pitchers to shut down Chino Hills. Jackson Kogan started the game and struck out the side in the first inning. Zack Dufour, Cade Hulse, Steinberg, Matt McGeagh and Jed Moscot also had effective outings on the mound. In all, Pirates pitchers struck out 12 Chino batters in six innings. The victory was the fourth blowout in the last five games for the Pirates, who swept a doubleheader against the Mission Viejo Halos by scores of 19-2 and 11-0 on September 3 and squeezed the Orange Juice of Tustin, 11-3, on Sept. 16. The Pirates’ next game is 9:30 Sunday morning at Memorial Park in Santa Monica.
