05.07.11 - CERRITOS BASEBALL SENT TO SANTA ANA FOR SUPER REGIONAL

    After dispatching Cuesta College in two games during their Southern California Regional Playoff First Round series, the Cerritos College baseball team will now travel to Santa Ana College for the Super Regional. The Super Regional is a four-team, double-elimination tournament, with the winner advancing to the State Championships. With several upsets during the first round - most notably #2-seeded Chaffey College being eliminated - several teams moved up in the ranking, with the #3-seeded Dons taking over hosting duties. The second game of the tournament will pit Cerritos (23-14) against Santa Ana on Friday at 4:00 p.m., with #3-seeded Orange Coast College facing #6-seeded Santa Barbara City College playing at 12:00 p.m. in the early game. The California Community College Athletic Association stipulates that game times the first day are to be played at noon and 4:00 p.m. on the first day, but the times could be adjusted if all coaches agree to change them.

    The Falcons faced the Dons on April 22 and came away with a 5-4 non-conference victory at Kincaid Field. Cerritos has not faced Orange Coast or Santa Barbara City this season.

    Santa Ana (26-13) reached the Super Regional by defeating San Diego Mesa College in three games, with the deciding game being a 7-1 victory. As for Orange Coast (30-8), they swept past Allan Hancock College in two games, while Santa Barbara City (24-15) defeated Riverside Community College twice on Saturday to advance.

    Cerritos has not faced Orange Coast since the 2006 season when they were defeated, 4-3 in the Southern California Regional Play-in Game, and defeated the Pirates in the playoffs, 15-14 in 1999. The last time the Falcons have played the Vaqueros, it was during the Wally Kincaid Era in 1973 and the team posted a 4-1 win. The first baseman for the Falcons on that team was current head coach Ken Gaylord.
