The Malibu High School varsity Sharks baseball team lost their first game of the year 9-8 to Windward High School last week, giving them a 7-1 record.
Jordan Simon and Evan Anthony each had three hits, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Windward, which scored 9 runs. After a wild first inning when Windward scored four runs off of defensive miscues, the Sharks came back to score five of their own. Malibu took a 8-6 lead going into the seventh inning, but then gave up three runs and went to the bottom of the seventh down by a run. The Sharks rallied in the last inning, but in the end the Sharks could not pick up a clutch hit to win it.
