The Warriors game against the Mt. San Antonio College Mounties on March 15 was successful compared to their last game, which the team lost 1-3.
The Warriors had a previous losing streak against East L.A. and Mt. San Antonio.
“We were a little too anxious the last couple of games and being patient really helped us today,” Nate Fernley, coach, said.
Patience earned the Warriors a win, 11-4, breaking a three game losing streak.
“Offensively we got hits when we needed to. (It felt) good to get back on that scoreboard,” Fernley said.
The Mounties had six errors during the game which included dropped balls and failing to steal bases.
“Obviously when the team makes an error it gives you more chance to see the starting pitcher,” Fernley said. “It gave us an opportunity to work their pitcher deeper in the game.”
“When they make errors it works that pitch count up and gives us an opportunity to score runs,” Fernley added.
The Warriors had 14 hits compared to nine hits by the Mounties.
Trezek’s fellow teammate, Bryce Savage, infielder, is leading the scoreboard with 19 RBIs and is the most improved player, Fernley said.
Savage hit a homerun during the bottom of the eighth.
“Bryce had a good game, he went four for four, with a home run, he’s been hitting well in that nine hole, he’s leading the team in RBIs,” Fernley added.
At the mound the Warriors had one strikeout during the game by Daniel Timmerman.
“I think we pitched really well today, we threw strikes,” Timmerman, pitcher, said.
Timmerman shared the game with Alex Mistulof who pitched a majority of the innings.
“Mistulof on the mound, he battled today and did a good job keeping us in it,” Fernley said.
In the seventh inning, the Warriors gained seven runs and two in the eighth.
The Mounties, by the end of ninth inning, were only able to earn one extra run, giving them a total of four runs for the game.
The Warriors won, 11-4.
“I think we’ve played a little bit more of our type of baseball, going out and playing hard,” Trezek said.
Postponing the March 17 game due to inclement weather, the Warriors played the Mounties again won March 19 with a loss, 0-1.
The Warriors now tie with Pasadena and L.A. Harbor for the number five spot in the conference.
