The San Marcos High baseball team couldn’t have scripted a better start to its journey in the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs.
The Royals exploded offensively and received a typical lights-out performance from ace starting pitcher Cole Schoenwetter on their way to a 12-1 victory over visiting California High of Whittier on Thursday afternoon.
“It’s just a lot of hard work. Everyone gets excited for game days, but can you get excited for Monday when you have your game on Thursday,” said San Marcos coach Wes Ghan-Gibson. “I feel like this team does that really well. They almost treat every day — whether it’s a game day or practice — like it’s a game.”
