COSTA MESA — The man in charge of the Costa Mesa High baseball team tried to calm everyone down Tuesday. Coach Jim Kiefer jogged everywhere, toward home plate, in the infield, up the first-base line. His first base coach argued with the base umpire. His starting pitcher barked at the home-plate umpire. The same player threw his helmet in disgust after hitting into a double play with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. The base umpire warned the player. Kiefer followed up at the end. It’s getting late in the season again and Costa Mesa is losing at the wrong time.
