College of San Mateo sophomore Will Bowen is on quite a tear.

Will Bowen
The left-handed hitting slugger out of Serra sparked a big, early comeback as the Bulldogs (7-3 Coast North, 17-10 overall) took down Skyline in Tuesday’s Coast Conference North baseball matchup on the Hilltop. With CSM trailing 5-0 in the third, Bowen got his team on the board with a three-run home run. The Bulldogs went on to score seven runs in the inning.
The loss snaps an 11-game winning streak for the Trojans.
Bowen went 2 for 5 in the game to up his season average to a Coast North-leading .393. He has hit safely in eight straight games, including six multi-hit performances. He is 17 for 31 with three doubles, a triple, a homer and 15 RBIs over that stretch.
Skyline (9-1, 20-9) got on the board in the first, spurred by cleanup hitter Ethan Casas-Wu. The freshman singled home the game’s first run and later scored on a Cesar Ceron double to cap a three-run rally. Casas-Wu added a sacrifice fly in the second, and paced the Trojans with a 2-for-4 day.
CSM came storming back. After Bowen’s three-run blast, freshman Brody Barker gave the Bulldogs the lead with a two-run single. CSM added one run in the fourth, and two more in the fifth with back-to-back RBI doubles from Vicente Feliciano and Rowan Felsch.
Bulldogs starter Noah Kinney earned the win, persevering early trouble to work seven innings. His record improves to 6-0. Nikau Heeney took the loss for Skyline, lasting 2 2/3 innings. His record falls to 2-3.
Cañada 8, De Anza 3
The Cañada Colts (3-7 Coast Noth, 15-15 overall) broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth with a three-run rally, and added two more in the eighth, to win at De Anza (1-8, 6-23) for their second straight victory.
Colts cleanup man John Paul Avila went 2 for 4 with a double and three RBIs, while Dom Avila and Ivan Herrera each added two hits and two RBIs. Freshman reliever Gianvito Carriglio worked three innings to earn the win, improving his record to 2-0.
