Delta edges Santa Rosa in Big 8 opener
Taison Corio came up with the big hit to give the defending state champion Delta Mustangs a win in their conference opener.
Corio delivered a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning to break up a tied game and the Mustangs beat Santa Rosa 8-6 on Wednesday in the Big 8 Conference debut for both schools at Delta’s Nick Ceccehetti Field. Noah Denoyer (1-0) pitched the final 2 1/3 innings in relief to get the win for the Mustangs (12-2, 1-0).
Blake Dickman, who went 3 for 4 with two RBI, led off the seventh with his second double of the game for Delta. He stole third and with one out Anthony Lucchetti drew an intentional walk. Corio brought both runners hom with his double.
