Bishop Diego’s baseball team won its first game for coach Peter Stathopoulos on Saturday, beating Channel League member Cabrillo, 8-6.
Ashton Pelli pitched five innings and Jack Stowe and Nico Sanchez each provided an inning of relief in the victory.
Pelli, Issac Veal and Devin Goodwin each had two hit to pace the Cardinals’ offense.
Assistant coach Jimmy Brakka said the Cardinals are finally coming together as a team.
“Spring training is over. Bishop is ready to play,” he said. “Players are starting to understand our system and are getting better every day.”
Bishop plays at Carpinteria on Thursday.
