Yianni Gardner tripled to drive in a run in the first inning, Barry Mainz followed with an RBI groundout and Dominic Cacchione took care of the rest in Sacred Heart Prep's 4-1 victory over visiting Burlingame in a Peninsula Athletic League League Bay Division contest Tuesday.
John McGrory added three hits and Reece Lindquist had two hits and an RBI for the Gators (9-2, 2-0), who travel to Burlingame for a league game at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Cacchione (3-1) struck out 11 and did not walk a batter in an efficient outing that saw him throw 79 pitches, 60 for strikes. He gave up a run on four hits.
The Gators, winners of eight of their past nine games, added a pair of runs in the fourth. McGrory doubled and Lindquist singled to score courtesy runner Macaluso. After stealing second, Lindquist scored when Kyle Cody's grounder was mishandled.
