Corona del Mar’s baseball team improved its record to 3-2 overall with an 8-5 victory over Paramount Tuesday afternoon in the Newport Elks Tournament.
The game was a continuation of Saturday’s game that was suspended in the top of the third inning because of rain with the Sea Kings trailing 3-2, according to CdM Coach Kevin McCaffrey.
Nico DiFerdinando was 2 for 3. Max Lane, Kieran Sidebotham and Will Butler all doubled for CdM, which is 2-1 in the tournament. Sidebotham had two RBI.
