In the fourth, Kyle Jackson tripled to deep left center field and was brought home on an RBI ground out by Nick Hernandez to make it a 2-1 lead. Jackson finished with four runs, while Hernandez bashed in four RBI.

Chaneng Varela crushed a three-run triple to the gap in left field clearing the bases including himself as an error was made on the relay throw and he came home to score.

Tyler Urbach and Hernandez contributed two-run doubles in the inning.

Jonny Reynoso, Jacob Bernardy and Jake Thumm each belted one RBI in the frame.

Nolan Henley went 2-for-2 in the inning and scored twice.

Inland Valley tacked on two more in the sixth when Justin Gomez scored Jackson and Hernandez.

Five-run Inning Scuttles Pirates

A five-run fourth inning scuttled the Pirates (3-4-1) as they fell 8-3 to the Orange Coast Bucs in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader.

Dylan Stablein went seven innings and struck out three, while Jason Padlo went 1-for-3 and drove in two of the Pirates’ three runs.

The Pirates offense spun their wheels early as they had runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings.

In the fourth, the Bucs erupted for five runs to take a 5-0 lead.

Meanwhile, the Pirates offense continued to sputter until an RBI single by Jason Padlo in the bottom of the fifth cut the lead to 5-1.

The Bucs would answer with a run in the top of the eighth to take a 6-1 lead.

In the bottom of the inning Jeff Nellis tripled and came around to score on a Jason Padlo groundout to make it 6-2.

However, once again, the Bucs answered right back, scoring two runs in the ninth to push the lead to 8-2.

The Pirates rallied for one in the bottom of the night on a base hit by Nick Marshall, but it would prove to be too little, too late as they fell by a final count of 8-3.

Pirates Taken Away by the Riptide

The Inland Valley Pirates (3-3-1, 1-3) lost to the OC Riptide (4-6-1, 2-0) in heart-breaking fashion for the second consecutive night.

This time the Riptide came through with five runs in the ninth to take a 7-5 victory over the host Pirates at Citrus College on Saturday night.

The Pirates jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Jason Padlo scored on an error.

The Riptide answered with two in the sixth.

Inland Valley fought back in the eighth plating three runs to make it a 4-2 contest heading into the final frame.

Ryan Marcos singled and scored. Nick Marshall ripped a RBI single and scored. Jeff Nellis and Padlo each added one RBI.

However, on this day, it wasn’t meant to be for the Pirates as Brett Early, who pitched a stellar first eight innings allowing only two runs while striking out nine, allowed the first three in the inning to reach base.

From there, the usually steady pitching staff fell apart and hit two batters, while walking another two with the bases loaded.

The Pirates look to regroup in a non-league doubleheader against the OCC Bucs on Sunday afternoon at Citrus College.

The Pirates answered with one in the seventh on a Nick Marshall RBI scoring Kyle Jackson.

The Riptide threatened from the fifth through 12th innings, getting their lead-off hitter on board in each frame, but time and time again, Eric Trask and Andrew Eppenbach turned away the home team – until the 12th inning when Orange County’s Zach McLeod ripped his fourth hit of the day on a walk-off blast to deep left center field.

Trask tossed six innings while only allowing one earned run. Eppenbach was the tough luck loser firing 5.2 innings.
