NORWALK – On a day when the Cerritos College softball team was challenged, albeit briefly, the Falcons’ bats more than made up for any shortcomings with six home runs in a 12-4 victory in six innings over visiting Saddleback in Sunday’s Super Regional game at Nancy Kelly Field.
The win, coupled with a 10-2 victory Friday, gives the Falcons (39-9-1), seeded No. 2 in Southern California, the series, 2-0, while Cerritos also advances to its third consecutive state tournament beginning this Friday in Salinas. Read more at http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/ci_12340729
The softball team of Cerritos College won its last two games against Saddleback City College Saturday and Sunday, setting the stage for the Falcons to defend its state title.
The Falcons were due to face a pitcher that is very difficult to hit off of, but with the hitting talent that Cerritos has shown throughout this season, the players and staff were confident of advancing to next round of the playoffs.
Assistant coach Bud Murray said, “We faced a tough pitcher who had beat us in our last two meetings, but after saddleback saw our hitting in a San Diego tournament, they were intimidated.”
The Falcons walked away with two mercy-rule wins this weekend.
12 hits led to 10 runs ending in a 10-2 win on Saturday and on Sunday, 14 hits led to a 12-4 win. Read more at http://www.talonmarks.com/softball-defends-state-title-1.1749565.
