HS BASE: Alemany takes 3-run lead against Crespi

Looks like we could have upset, as Alemany leads Crespi 4-1 in the top of the sixth in a key Mission League showdown at Birmingham High.

Alemany broke it open with three runs in the fifth, the key hit a two-run double by Sergio Placencia.

It's now the top of the fifth inning, and Crespi's Scott Heineman is pitching in relief of Ryan Brockett.

Alemany sophomore Cody Thompson is doing a masterful job. Through five innings, he has allowed two hits with no walks while striking out two. Crespi's run came in the bottom of the third when Austin Walker walked and eventually scored on Michael Hubbard's triple.
