Sunnyside's Moraga continuing family traditionÂ
Sunnyside High senior Adam Moraga pitched a no-hitter against Rincon on Friday afternoon. He struck out seven and showed a lot of spunk; in his previous start, he gave up six first-inning runs to powerful Salpointe Catholic. Moraga is hitting .405 for the Blue Devils entering the playoffs. He has as much baseball blood as any prep ballplayer in Tucson. His father, Omar Moraga, a Blue Devils assistant coach, was a two-year starting infielder for Arizona who later played four years in the Cleveland Indians system and then became a starter on the USA national fastpitch softball team. His father’s cousin, Diego Rico, was the Arizona high school player of the year in 1994, a UA standout who played in the Chicago Cubs system. Adam’s uncle, Gabe Moraga, is Sunnyside’s head coach.Â
