Virus Beat Chargers, 3-0
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

El Cajon got a strong outing from Matsuo Yamashita as the Virus defeated the Chula Vista Chargers, 3-0, at Chargers Ballpark. Sen Fukuda closed it out for his 4th save.

In the top of the first, Motoyuki Kojima ambushed a 0-1 curveball from Bill Manley and hit a 2-run home run. It gave El Cajon a quick 2-0 lead.

"I still think this team can play even better," Kojima told the El Cajon Times.

Chula Vista drops to 3-8.
