SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Koji Hefner was a one-man wrecking crew as he refused to let San Marcos lose.

San Marcos completes the season sweep over the Yellowjackets and both teams are tied for second in the Channel League at 8-2, one game back of first place Santa Barbara.

Danny Diaz hit two big three-pointers in overtime as the Royals bounced back from an upset loss earlier in the week at Rio Mesa.
