It was another strikeout for the Cerritos Falcons as they fell against the East Los Angeles College Huskies, 15-3, last Saturday at Kincaid field.
The Cerritos College baseball team is ending it’s losing season with a sputter as it has lost seven out of it’s last 10 games with only hopes of ending the season with a record of 14-22.
“It’s just been a bad season all around,” starting pitcher Chris Villalobos said.
And the poor season continued with a dominating performance by the visitors as ELAC starting pitcher Anthony Gomez, out of John Glenn High School, managed to get seven strikeouts and shut out Cerritos through seven innings.
The Falcons, on the otherhand, gave up 15 runs throughout the whole game and commited three errors. “There hasn’t been an answer for anything,” Villalobos commented.
The Cerritos pitching fell short this game as starting pitcher Chris Villalobos gave up eight runs in just under four innings.
Pitcher Tucker Woods came in the game in relief for Villalobos and giving up only one run in four innings but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
Then in the eighth inning, Kevin Hendrix came in to close the game but fell in the same hole as Villalobos giving up six runs in just two innings.
The Falcons failed to score until the eighth inning earning two runs on pitcher Jesse Silva and one more run in the ninth against Dennis Rangel of ELAC.
The attitude of the players in the dugout reflected how the team played out as they were emotionless and quiet with only murmers every once in a while.
At one point, for an unknown reason the entire dugout with the exception of the coaches sat on the ground as if it were a punishment before returing to their bench.
ELAC landed a total of 20 hits, 18 being singles. Nevertheless, the Cerritos College baseball team continued to play through the pain.
Tim Soonthorngarun, Joe Terry, and Jake Mayoral earned two hits each and a two RBI double by Jeremy Cameron giving Cerritos two of its three earned runs.
Cerritos will finish off the season with a pair of games against L.A Harbor College on Tuesday at L.A Harbor College and then on Thursday back at Kincaid Field.
