FRESNO — Frank Halcovich hit two home runs, including a grand slam in the ninth inning, and drove in seven runs Thursday to lead College of the Canyons to a 10-6 victory over Mission College of Santa Clara in a first-round game of the community college state baseball tournament.
The score was tied, 6-6, going into the bottom of the ninth when Canyons (29-13) loaded the bases with none out. Left fielder Halcovich hit a line drive off the scoreboard beyond the fence at Fresno State's Beiden Field, and the Cougars advanced to the second round.
