91èÏÈÉú’s Brooks Parham doubled and Miguel Vega homered to lead the Guard varsity past Tyler Grace Community 11-1 on Tuesday.

Vega also got the win on the mound, allowing one run on four hits with two walks and four strikeouts. Josh Jenkins pitched one inning of scoreless relief.
91èÏÈÉú grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Seth Moss walked to lead off, stole second and went to third on a dropped third strike that allowed Parham to reach. Moss then stole home to make it 1-0. A single by Reid Hill put two runners with both eventually scoring on miscues by Grace.
Vega used one swing to make it 4-0, powering a solo home run over center field in the third inning. Campbell Fletcher followed with a single and eventually made it to third after Tyler Overbeek was hit by a pitch and Seth Moss reached on an infield single to load the bases. An error scored Fletcher with Parham taking care of the rest with a two-run double and 7-0 lead.
The Guard stretched their lead with four more runs in the fifth inning. Cole Fitzgerald drove in Overbeek and Moss with a two-run single, and Fitzgerald scored on an RBI single from Josh Jenkins. Reid Hill reached on a fielder’s choice and eventually scored on an error to make it 11-1.
