SANTA ANA – After going into extra innings in its opening SoCal Regional Round 1 game against Santa Ana on Friday, the SBCC baseball team couldn't keep pace with the Dons in game two on Saturday, falling 19-4.

NOTABLE

  • Despite zero hits over the final three innings, Santa Ana (31-10) did enough early on, catching fire for 20 hits over the first six innings.
  • The Vaqueros (23-19) finished with nine hits, getting three multi-hit perfomances led by first baseman Mark Hernandez' three with one RBI.
  • Shortstop Gabe Baldavino had two hits while batting one in and scoring one.
  • Third bsaeman Gavin Haimovitz also had two hits to go along with one run.
  • The Dons also doubled SBCC 8-4 in walks.

HOW IT HAPPENED

1st-2nd Innings (3-0 SAC)

  • Both teams matched each other with a one-hit, scoreless first inning.
  • Santa Ana opened the scoring with three runs on four hits in the second, all coming on RBI singles with two outs on the board.

3rd Inning (12-3 SAC)

  • Once again, the Vaqueros were able to pick up two outs before giving up a run, but the Dons began to blow the game open with a pair of two-run homers in the top of the third. They would add five more runs before the inning was over to take a 12-0 lead.
  • SBCC had its most productive effort in the bottom of the inning. Haimovitz led off with a single to right and Justin Deal followed with a walk. Baldavino loaded the bases with a single through the left side.
  • Matty Fung hit a sacrifice fly into center field to bring Haimovitz in for SBCC's first run.
  • Deal then scored on a Hernandez single to right center. Another sac fly, this time from Tyler Imbach, would bring Baldavino home to cap the three-run inning.

4th-9th Innings (19-4)

  • With the game already pretty much in hand, the Dons would go on to make it five straight scoring innings to go up 19-3.
  • In the eighth, Ricardo Amavizca was hit by a pitch and Baldavino doubled to left field to bring in SBCC's final run of the day.
  • The pitching trio of Nolan Craddock, Dylon Furseth and Campbell Holt combined for four strikeouts while conceding zero hits or runs over the final three innings.
