Bomber Sooner: Aztecs Swept By OU

With a smashing three homer performance at the plate and a former Little League hero coming back to torment his hometown team, the 22nd ranked Oklahoma Sooners capped a four-game sweep of San Diego State with a 5-2 win at Tony Gwynn Stadium on Sunday.

The Aztecs’ offense was stymied by Palomar College transfer Bobby Shore.  A former Little League World Series star with Oceanside in 2001, Shore returned to San Diego and held the Aztecs hitless into the fifth inning.  Matt Parker’s double with two outs in the fifth broke up the no-hit bid, but Shore stayed in to work seven innings, allowing just five hits and one run, with five strikeouts against just one walk.

“I thought he showed a lot of composure, lot of poise,” said Aztecs head coach Tony Gwynn, “for a local kid coming back home you know he wanted to throw the ball well, and he did.”

The San Diego Section’s all-time rushing leader will be heading to the Bay Area to play football.  Escondido’s Ricky Seale signed his letter of intent to attend Stanford University in the fall, and to play for coach Jim Harbaugh on the football team.  Seale’s signing, which took place today at the Escondido High School Learning Center, capped months of speculation as to where Seale would land.

“Thank God, it’s finally all over,” said Seale after putting ink to paper.

Seale was one of four Escondido athletes signing letters of intent on Wednesday, a banner day for the North County school.  Tim Zier signed a baseball scholarship with SDSU, while Joe Morton signed to play basketball at Wyoming, and Mala Lemay accepted a softball scholarship from Hawaii.

How close did the Aztecs come to landing Seale?

“It was a 50-50 deal all the way,” said Seale, “but Stanford was always my first choice.”
