The Irvine Valley baseball team suffered its second straight one-run loss to El Camino on Thursday.

Irvine Valley had a 5-0 lead after scoring two runs in the top of the sixth inning, but the Lasers couldn’t hold on.
El Camino scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth, two in the seventh and one in the ninth.
