Marina Defeats Grossmont in Final

ESCONDIDO — Marina defeated La Mesa Grossmont, 6-2, Wednesday to take the championship of the Orange Glen softball tournament for the second time in three seasons.

The Vikings (12-4) had 11 hits, played error-free defense and defeated Grossmont for the second day in a row to win the Tough Time division of the tournament.

Leadoff hitter Robyn Yorke, a sprinter on Marina’s track team, beat out three infield singles and scored twice. Cleanup hitter Julie Luft was two for four with a two-run triple that gave the Vikings a 3-0 lead in the third inning.

Singles by Yorke, Marcy Crouch and Kate Heinrich keyed a three-run fifth inning, fueled by two Grossmont errors. The Foothillers (15-3), who lost to Marina, 7-6, Tuesday, put up single runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
