05.01.09 - CERRITOS LOCKS DOWN SECOND PLACE WITH WIN
    Knowing a win over Los Angeles City College would secure a second place conference finish and automatic berth into the Southern California Regional Playoffs, the Cerritos College baseball team removed all doubt by turning a 4-1 lead into a 9-1 advantage before settling for a 10-5 win over the Cubs at Griffith Park on Friday afternoon. The win improves the Falcons record to 16-8 in the South Coast Conference and 26-15 overall. Going into the final day of the regular season, there was a three-way tie for second place with Cerritos, El Camino College at Mt. San Antonio. The conference bylaws state that in the event of a three-way tie, the first criteria to break the tie is each team's cumulative record against the other two teams they are tied with. For the Falcons, they went 4-2 against the Warriors and the Mounties, while El Camino was 3-3 and Mt. San Antonio was 2-4. So with the win, Cerritos locked down second place and will find out on Sunday afternoon where they are seeded in the 18-team regional playoffs. teams seeded 15-18 will compete in a one-game play-in game on Tuesday, while the remaining teams will open their three-game series next Friday.
 
    The scoring opened in the first inning for the Falcons when sophomore third baseman Brian Gaylord (La Mirada HS) singled with two outs and stole second base. Hot-hitting freshman second baseman Joe Terry (Long Beach Poly HS) drove in Gaylord with a single. Two more runs were plated in the second inning, which started when freshman designated hitter Jacob Eaton (Calvary Chapel HS) reached on an error. Freshman first baseman Josh Bryan (La Mirada HS) was then hit by a pitch before both runners advanced on a passed ball. Sophomore outfielder Brandon Pesante (La Mirada HS) drove in a run with a ground out, while sophomore catcher Paul Hayes (Bellflower HS) singled in the second run.
 
    Sophomore starting pitcher George Sanchez (Gahr HS) used his run support to his advantage, as he pitched 6 2/3 innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits, while striking out six. He earned the win to improve to 8-3 on the season, while sophomore relief pitcher Steven Blanchette (Schurr HS) struck out three in his 2 1/3 innings of work.
 
    By the end of the game, Gaylord, Terry and Hayes had three hits, while Terry drove in four and stole three bases. As a team, the Falcons stole eight bases, while all nine starters had at least one hit, with Cerritos posting 16 on the day. Gaylord led the way by scoring three runs, with freshman shortstop Max McEleney (Long Beach Wilson HS) scoring twice and sophomore outfielder David Neff (John Glenn HS) driving in a pair.
