Esperanza defeats Mater Dei amid controversial walk-off


After an intentional walk to load the bases in the 10th, Mater Dei's Carly Wade walked in the game winning run. Esperanza's Vanessa Weaver strolled to first as her Aztecs won 3-2. They advance to the quarterfinals to play Oxnard on Thursday.

But after the game, Mater Dei head coach Doug Myers gave the home plate umpire an ear full. He believed that Wade was squeezed at the plate.

"It's a shame. I mean I'll take any win," Esperanza head coach Ed Tunstall. "It shouldn't happen like that. It seems like everytime we play Mater Dei, it comes down to one play to lose a game."
