OC Bucs Bats Come Alive Late

The OC Buccaneers (7-8) offense erupted for 10 runs in the final few innings as they blanked the So Cal Sharks, 10-0.

The Bucs, who were held to just two hits through the first five innings, put up a late rally while taking advantage of some defensive miscues by the Sharks.

A well-pitched game on both sides, early on, the contest was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth inning when the Bucs plated the first runs of the game on a two-run double by David Johnson.

In the seventh inning, Connor Shepherd laced a two out, RBI double down the right field line to stretch the lead to 3-0.

In the eighth, the Bucs cleared the deck and broke the game wide open as they batted around for a seven-run outburst that included RBI singles from David Johnson, Jacob Blackiston, and David Grubaugh.

The Bucs pitching staff held the Sharks silent and preserved the shutout victory.

David Johnson was the offensive hero for the Bucs, going a perfect 2-for-2 and driving in three runs.

Jacob Battaglia earned the victory in relief as he tossed three shutout innings and struck out six.

The Bucs will try to carry this momentum over to Friday when they take on the Inland Empire Senators at La Sierra. Gametime is 1 p.m.

OC Bucs Struggle Against BC Prospects

The OC Buccaneers (6-8) dropped a tough game to the BC Prospects on Wednesday afternoon, by a score of 3-2, despite outhitting the Prospects, 5-3.

The Prospects broke a scoreless tie with a run in the fifth inning to take a 1-0 lead.

The very next inning, the Prospects scored two runs to stretch their lead to 3-0, going into the bottom of the sixth.

In the bottom half of the inning, the Bucs would finally get on the board, by way of a bases loaded walk by third baseman and Bucs RBI leader, Nick Reeser.

The next batter was designated hitter, Nick Michaels, who followed with a line-drive single to right, scoring Aaron Torres and cutting the lead to 3-2.

Unfortunately for the Bucs, that’s as close as they would get as the Prospects retired 11 of the next 12 batters, including the final seven in a row, to hang on for the 3-2 victory.

The Bucs pitching staff put forth a heroic effort, despite the loss, as five pitchers combined to give up just three hits and three runs, all of which were unearned.

Bucs starter, Erik Gonzalez pitched four scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and striking out two.

Bucs relievers, Tristan Cisneros and Art Corona each struck out the side in the eighth and ninth inning respectively.

The Bucs will look to get back on the winning track as they host the So Cal Sharks at Scolinos Field Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
