Pirates Hold On

ivbaseball

The Inland Valley Pirates (14-10-1) made Wednesday night’s encounter with the FBA Sharks very interesting at Upland Memorial Park.

The Pirates, who at one point led 8-1, so their lead vanquish in the ninth to 8-7, but Jarrett Veiga came in for the one-out save and struck out his man.

The Pirates used a six-run fourth inning to grab a 6-0 lead.

Sergio Robles, Jeff Nellis, Greg Espinosa, Jason Padlo, Chaneng Varela and Justin Gomez each scored.

Espinosa, Padlo and Varela each contributed one RBI in the frame.

The Sharks scored one in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 6-1 ballgame.

The Pirates took an 8-1 lead in the sixth when Padlo and Varela each recorded their second RBI of the day.

The Sharks answered with three in the bottom of the sixth and three more in the bottom of the ninth to cut it to a one-run game, but Veiga came through in the clutch against the clean-up hitter in the Sharks’ lineup who had already homered in the game.

The Pirates take the field again Thursday night at East Los Angeles College at 6:30 p.m.

Pirates Prey on Saints

ivbaseball

The Inland Valley Pirates (13-10-1) held on to defeat the South Bay Saints 3-2 on Saturday afternoon at UCSB.

While the Pirates used a three-run fifth inning to take a 3-0 lead, closing out the game was anything but easy.

In the Pirates’ fifth, Justin Gomez produced the two-run single to give the Pirates the initial lead scoring Jeff Nellis and Chaneng Varela.

The next hitter, Johnny Juarez, continued his hot play and ripped an RBI to left field scoring Gomez to make it a 3-0 score.

The Saints chipped away at the lead with one in the sixth and one in the eighth cutting the deficit to 3-2.

In the eighth inning, reliever Andrew Eppenbach faced runners on second and third with no outs in a 3-2 ballgame and escaped the jam.

In the ninth inning, Eppenbach had runners on first and third with no outs, and once again pulled out the Houdini effort to stymie the opposition and notch his first save of the season.

Brendan Hornung was sensational and demonstrated his Division 1 potential by earning the victory and striking out 11 in 6.2 innings, while only allowing one run.

Pirates Comeback and Defeat San Diego

ivbaseball

The Inland Valley Pirates (10-9-1, 4-8) battled back from a 3-0 deficit to claim a 5-4 victory against Team San Diego (7-17, 3-13) in game one of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Cal Poly Pomona.

Much like yesterday’s contest, the Pirates fell behind early as Team San Diego plated two runs in the first inning to jump out to an early 2-0 lead.

Team San Diego scored another run in the second to push their lead to 3-0.

The Pirates offense was held silent until the fourth inning when Nick Costello recorded the Pirates first hit of the game on a single to right. He later came around to score the Pirates first run on a wild pitch.

The Pirates scratched across another run in the inning on an RBI groundout by Jonny Reynoso, which cut the lead to 3-2.

The score remained 3-2 until the sixth when Team San Diego pushed across another run to extend their lead to 4-2.

However, the Pirates would answer in the bottom half of the sixth.

An RBI double off the bat of Jeff Nellis made it a 4-3 ballgame. Nellis came around to score the tying run on an error by the second baseman.

The game remained deadlocked at four until the bottom of the seventh. With a runner on second and two men out, Nick Marshall hit a sharp ground ball that scooted right between the third baseman’s legs and allowed the runner, Nick Hernandez to score the go-ahead run.

The Pirates carried that 5-4 lead into the ninth when Team San Diego put runners on first and second with two outs.

On a 1-0 pitch, San Diego pinch hitter, Clayton Peterson drilled a sharp single into right. However, right fielder, Jacob Bernardy fielded the ball and made a strong throw to the plate to nail the potential tying run, thus securing the win for the Pirates.

Nicholas Sergi allowed just one run in seven strong innings in relief to pick up the victory, his third of the season.

Jeff Nellis had a solid day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a run scored, a run batted in and a stolen base.

Pirates Notch Legendary Win

ivbaseball

The Inland Valley Pirates (9-9-1) defeated the Long Beach Legends at Scolinos Field on Tuesday by a score of 5-2.

Six Pirates pitchers combined to give up just two runs on four hits as the offense capitalized on four Legend errors.

Long Beach jumped on the board early with a run in the first inning on an RBI single.

The Pirates answered back in the second inning, when Nick Hernandez scored on a fielding error, tying the game at 1.

In the bottom of the third, with two on and two out, Johnny Reynoso singled to drive in a run and give the Pirates a 2-1 lead.

The Legends managed to tie the game at 2 with a run in the top half of the seventh. However, it would be short-lived as in the bottom of the seventh, late game insert, Chaneng Varela, singled to drive in the go-ahead run and give the Pirates a 3-2 lead.

Two batters later, the Pirates plated an insurance run on a sacrifice fly by outfielder, Sergio Robles.

Two batters later the Pirates scored their third run of the inning, when a double steal attempt forced an errant throw from the catcher, allowing the runner at third to score.

The Pirates held the Legends scoreless from there and walked away with the 5-2 victory.

The Pirates used six different pitchers to hold the Legends to just two runs and four hits.

Nicholas Sergi is credited with the win in relief, giving up just one unearned run and striking out one batter in his lone inning.

Justin Gomez continued his hot hitting, as he went 2-for-3 with a run scored and reached base in all three of his plate appearances.

The Pirates will look to continue their winning ways on Wednesday as they play a doubleheader against Team San Diego at Scolinos Field. The first takes place at 1 p.m.
