From LBPOSTSports.com: For more than five innings it looked like Mission Viejo was in complete control of Millikan—but that’s why they play seven.  The Moore League champs trailed 4-0, but rallied for eight sixth-inning runs to stun the Diablos, 8-4, Friday evening in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs at Blair Field.  The Rams’ win staved off a dreaded Moore League sweep in the first round, as Poly, Lakewood, and Wilson all got bounced on the road earlier in the day.

Mission Viejo (17-11) scored four runs (three earned) off Millikan ace Josh Frye (8-3) with single runs in the first and fourth innings, and two in the fifth.

Scott Brattvet’s two-run single gave the Diablos a 4-0 lead in the top of the fifth, and even the unflappable Frye had his doubts.

“I thought I had just blown our playoff chances, but our guys clutched up and got us the win on a night I didn’t have my best stuff,” Frye said. “It felt good to see the offense step up like that.”
