This Week's Sports Schedule

    Two Cerritos College baseball players were selected in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft, which was held over the last two days. Sophomore pitcher/catcher Brad Schwarzenbach (St. John Bosco HS) was taken by the New York Mets in the 44th Round, and it marks the third year in a row he was selected in the draft. Freshman pitcher Robbie Dominguez (El Rancho HS) was chosen in the 45th Round by the Seattle Mariners.

     Over the last two years, Schwarzenbach was taken by both the San Francisco Giants after his senior year in high school and was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 32nd Round in last year's draft. Has has already signed a letter of intent to play at Lewis & Clark (ID) State next season and will decide whether to continue school or sign a minor league contract. On the year, Schwarzenbach went 2-5 on the mound with four saves and a team-leading 1.84 ERA. He appeared in 15 games and started three while striking out 41 batters in 44 innings of work. At the plate, Schwarzenbach batted .263 with three doubles and 13 RBI.

    As for Dominguez, he went 3-3 on the mound and saved one game while he started seven of the 13 games in which he appeared. He recorded 39 strikeouts in 64 innings of work, which were the third most innings on the Falcon staff this season.

    Other Falcons who are considering schools include second baseman Dan Luyben (Lakewood HS), who has signed with Kansas Wesleyan University, while sophomore first baseman Ryan Montgomery (La Mirada HS) is also considering Kansas Wesleyan. As for relief pitcher Don Bodewig (Brea Olinda HS), he is leaning towards Chapman University, while infielder Ryan Bateman (Santa Fe HS) is looking seriously at Whittier College.
