The MSJC baseball team could manage just one win in their three game series with San Bernardino Valley this past week, winning on the road Friday, but dropping a pair of home games Tuesday and Saturday.
In the series opener at MSJC on Tuesday the Eagles fell 7-2 despite a strong starting pitching effort from Steven Silvas who went 7 innings allowing just one earned run. The wolverines broke the game open in the top of the 8th with 4 runs to secure the victory. Joseph Hauck and Gavin Gates both had two hits for MSJC with Gates and Rigo Cano each driving in a run. The second game of the series was delayed from Thursday to Friday, but the Eagles responded with a road win 8-3. Carson McCafferty hit a homerun and drove in a pair of runs in the victory for MSJC. Trevor Castillo added three hits and an RBI.
The series finale on Saturday saw the Eagles fall behind early 3-1 and they couldn't close the gap as they fell 5-1. Kevin Gameros and Joseph Bangle each had two hits in the loss. Devin Combs was strong out of the bullpen for MSJC as he threw 2 1/3 shut out innings.
