The Inland Valley Bucs’ season (18-13, 5-11) has come to an end after getting swept by the Palm Springs Power in the final game of the season by a 7-3 score.
Inland Valley needed to win one game to secure a playoff spot, but couldn’t get the job done as the Power were hungry to take the #1 seed and did just that.
The Bucs fell behind 4-0 entering the third inning when they scored their first run on an RBI triple by Sheldon Borson.
The Power extended the margin to 7-1 before the Bucs scored twice in the final inning on a two-run single by Matt Majher.
It was a bitter end for the Bucs, who showed such promise in the season, but ultimately failed to reach their objective of qualifying for the SCCBL playoffs for the second consecutive season.
