The Cate baseball team suffered its first loss in league play thanks to an 8-0 defeat at the hands of Foothill Tech.

The Rams struggled to get their offense going all day. Quinn Pullen ‘25 had a double in the first inning. Peter Lehman ‘25 and Alex Ke ‘27 both had hits for the Rams.

Lehman ‘25 turned in a strong start for the Rams. The left hander went 5 and 1/3 innings, striking out 7. Josh Butler ‘26 came in to close the game out. Ethan Gibson ‘25 played solid defense at 2nd base.

We got beat by a better team today, but we turned in a good ball game. The score was closer than it let on and we were in it during the first 3 innings. They just made a few more big plays than we did, which is what good teams do. We are using this week to ramp up for post season play next week. We have one more game to get all of the mistakes out of the way.

The Rams and Dragons will play again at Cate on Wednesday, April 24 at 4pm
