NEWPORT COAST — Pitcher Alex Jimenez produced another strong effort to help move the Lightning into first place in the Academy League Tuesday.
Jimenez improved to 8-1 after six innings of work. He leads the league in wins after beating the Eagles (13-7, 8-3 in league), ranked No. 6 in CIF Southern Section Division VI.
Sage Hill was also led defensively by its outfield, as left-fielder Pat Vorwerck, center-fielder Nick Ongaro and right-fielder Allen Brown provided stellar plays. A.J. Wolfson went two for two with a home run, while Mo Kreitenberg tripled in two runs in the sixth for Sage Hill (12-4, 9-3).

COSTA MESA — Eagles junior catcher Josh Dominguez was two for two with a run scored in the Orange Coast League game Tuesday at Estancia High.
Junior Ryan Cherney had an RBI triple for Estancia (7-15, 3-6 in league), which plays at Laguna Beach Friday. The Eagles likely will need to win that game to stay in contention for third place in league, with Calvary Chapel playing last-place Godinez this week.
A Laguna Beach loss Friday would give Costa Mesa at least a share of the title.
