The Inland Valley Pirates (9-13-1, 7-6) defeated the South Bay Sliders 6-4 Friday night at El Camino College.
The Pirates fell behind 3-0 at the end of two, but answered in the fourth with three to tie it up. Jonathan de Marte and Jahshua Jones had an RBI in the frame.
The Pirates scored three more in the sixth to take a 6-3 lead. Jake Bryant ripped an RBI double to left field and Jones cranked a two-run double.
Art Corona worked two shutout innings and earned the win. Sean Patton was electric as he earned the save tossing the final two innings and striking out four.
