Dons blanked by Arroyo Grande’s ace

Arroyo Grande ace Jesse Yancosek held Santa Barbara to four hits in posting a 3-0 shutout over the Dons baseball team in the Central Coast Tournament on Tuesday.

“He has a good fastball and a knuckle-curve,” Santa Barbara assistant Mike Cooney said. “He got a lot of ground balls.”

The Dons got only one runner to third base.

Nick Below had two of Santa Barbara’s hits, a double and a single.

The Dons (2-1) continue tournament play Thursday at home against Righetti.
