Bucs Crush AOS

The Inland Valley Buccaneers scored a season-high 20 runs in a 20-3 rout of Team AOS in game 1 of Friday’s doubleheader at Scolinos Field.

The win snapped a three-game skid and helped the Bucs improve to 8-12 on the season.

The Buccaneers wasted no time at all getting the offense started.

The first batter of the game, Breyer Gayle, reached base via a walk. On the very next pitch, shortstop, Kevin Riley, doubled to left scoring Gayle for the first run of the game.

The scoring continued in the second as the Buccaneers plated four runs, two of them coming on a double by Breyer Gayle.

The Bucs added two more runs to their tally as they tacked on single runs in the third and fourth on RBI singles by Shamon Moss and Breyer Gayle, to take a 7-0 lead.

In the fifth inning, the Bucs batted around for six runs on five hits, including RBI doubles by Jacob Taylor, Kevin Riley and Gerardo Ramirez.

In the top of the seventh, Team AOS finally managed to find their way onto the scoreboard, as they scratched across a run to make it 13-1.

The Bucs answered right back in the bottom of the seventh as Gerardo Ramirez socked his second RBI double of the contest to make it 14-1.

Three batters later, Joseph Morraele stepped up to the dish and deposited a 3-1 pitch over the left field wall for a two run home run, stretching the lead to 16-1.

Just for good measure, the Bucs put up four more runs in the eighth inning to tally an even 20 runs.

AOS showed some life in the ninth, scoring two runs on a two out RBI double. However, Buccaneer newcomer, Kohto Hasegawa, settled down and struck out the final AOS batter and put a merciful end to the rout.

Chris Ghosn earned the victory in relief, giving up one run on just two hits and striking out four in his four inning of work.

Diego Cortes started the game and pitched three spotless innings, allowing just one walk and retiring 9 of the 10 batters he faced.

As for the Buccaneer offense, it was a banner day as the Bucs collected 16 hits including 9 extra-base hits. Three of those extra-base hits came off the bat of Gerardo Ramirez who went 3-for-3 on the day with three runs scored and three runs batted in.

Kevin Riley added two doubles of his own, going 2-for-4 and driving in four.

Bucs Forced to Dark Side

The Inland Valley Buccaneers (5-7, 3-3) were swept in a two-game home and away series against the San Diego Force on Wednesday night at Cal Poly Pomona by a 9-2 score.

Although the Bucs allowed nine to the Force for the second straight day, the final score is misleading as Inland Valley took a 2-0 lead into the sixth inning.

The Bucs scored one in the first on a Johnny Juarez RBI double scoring Kevin Riley.

Juarez was back at it in the third when he executed a squeeze bunt for his second RBI of the game, this time scoring Breyer Gayle.

In addition to the 2-0 lead heading into the top of the sixth, starting pitcher Chris Sanchez hadn’t allowed a hit in his first five innings.

It all went downhill from there. The Force scored seven in the sixth and added another two in the seventh.

The Bucs will play another SCCBL game on Friday at 5 p.m. at Vanguard University against the OC Riptide.
