Baseball vs Foothill Tech

At the plate, the Rams were paced once again by Mack, who hit his third ball over the fence in his last eight at-bats, going deep to straightaway center field. It’s a testament to the fact that this was a true team win that no Ram had more than a single hit, with the homer by Mack being the only extra-base hit. The biggest at-bat of the game, in fact, was a fielder’s choice by junior June Bae, who ducked his head out of the way of a curveball that bounced off his bat and rolled perfectly down the third-base line, forcing a good fielding team into an error that drove in two runs. Contributing singles to the effort were Holmes, Panadero, Endres, freshman Declan Forest, senior Cooke Tarlton, and freshman Liam Burdick. Burdick’s pinch-hit single off the bench drove in senior Will Morse, who has been a force pinch-running off the bench for the Rams this season, for a key insurance run. With that extra cushion, Mack entered to pitch in the top of the seventh with two out and the tying run at the plate, and struck out the Dragons’ cleanup hitter on three straight fastballs to end the game.
