Photo Gallery: Spartans Clinch Metro South Bay Championship Over Mar Vista

The Chula Vista win means the end to a streak of championships by Mar Vista softball.

The Chula Vista High School Spartans (14-3 overall, 8-1 league) took the Metro South Bay League Championship with a 5-2 victory over the Mar Vista Mariners (11-10 overall, 7-3 league) Friday.

The win means the Mariners will not win a fourth straight league championship.

Before a very boisterous home crowd the Spartans played small ball and used intelligent base running to break a 1-1 tie and build a 5-1 early lead.
