Marina Vitalich, a senior pitcher for Mary Star of the Sea High School in San Pedro, Calif., is a two-time All-State honoree and three-time All-CIF pick and for her prom she went with another accomplished athlete, Tate Beachley, a running back for Servite High of Anaheim, Calif. who’s headed to Holy Cross University.

The Mary Star of the Sea prom was held on April 24th at the Fort MacArthur Military Base ballroom in San Pedro and the theme of the prom was “Masked in Mystery.”

With its scenic views of the Pacific Ocean and elegant ballroom, Fort MacArthur provided a beautiful setting for the students.

Marina asked Tate, her longtime friend and neighbor, to be her date. He is headed to Holy Cross University near Boston to play football and will join Marina in heading to the East Coast where she will play at George Mason University in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

Marina is a lifelong member of the Firecracker club organization and is currently pitching for Firecrackers 18 Gold- Kevin. She has played 18 Gold since she was 14 years old and will lead her team into the PGF qualifiers in June.

The So Cal senior has shattered school and local records with a career total of 1,062 strikeouts and climbing. At the plate, Marina is batting .450 with five home runs.
