Pitcher Skye Severns let all three inherited runners in the top of the ninth as the Cerritos College baseball team fell to LA Harbor 6-3, Tuesday afternoon at Kincaid Field.

“He didn’t pitch that bad,” head coach Jack Brooks said. “He gave a chopper up the middle and threw a wild pitch, really wasn’t that bad.”

Starting pitcher Nick Quezada gave up zero earned runs though the first eight, but poor defense allowed the Seahawks to score three time, twice in the fifth and once in the seventh.

“Sometimes, when there are errors and you know your pitching well it is deflating, but Tim (Soonthorgarin) really gets me going when I get too serious or get down,” he said. “He really does a good job of getting refocused.”

But in the ninth, he walked and hit a batter to load the bases, which led to the pitching change.

“I just lost control of my pitches, I was getting a little tired and left my pitches up,” he said.

Last Thursday, Quezada pitched a complete game for the 7-2 victory over El Camino, then on Saturday fellow starting pitcher Chris Villalobos pitched a complete game shutout in the Falcons 4-0 victory over East Los Angeles.

“The starting pitching has just been awesome,” Brooks said. “Nick did a great job we just need to get more consistent.”

The Falcons are now 3-4 in the South Coast Conference and are 7-11 overall.

“We are still right in it for the conference title, but we can’t have two great wins like we had last week then play like we did today,” Brooks said.

Brooks decided to assume a role he is very familiar to.

He acted as the third base coach because “it was just to get the offense going a little bit,” he said.

In the fifth inning both teams were able to get on the board.

The Seahawks scored twice the second run of the inning come from a single by shortstop Marc Guzman.

The Falcons answered in the bottom half of the inning outfielder Michael Stowers doubled home outfielder Randy Garcia.

In the sixth the Falcons scored again when catcher Vince Perry faked a bunt pulled it back then shot the ball past the drawn in infield to score designated hitter Jacob Eaton to tie the game at two.

In the seventh the Seahawks took the lead again when outfielder Jared DeCastro singled in outfielder Phil Alvarez.

In the bottom of the inning the Falcons tied the game again on a sacrifice fly by Soonthorgarin.

The winning pitcher was Abraham Ramirez, who entered the game in the seventh with two outs.
