Central Arizona College churned out eleven hits in the first game of the Saturday double header in Phoenix, and with another solid outing from starter Mat Olsen and a couple of long ones, it was a 10-1 win.

10-1 wins seem fairly normal for Central-you try not to take another great outing from Olsen and ten runs from Central bats for granted but....

After Olsen was the victim of an unearned first inning run, it was all Central after that and Olsen took the mound in the bottom of the second with a 4-1 lead, and with Olsen, you can pretty much count on a three run lead as insurmountable, so far this year.

"I had Olsen figured for six innings as we went along" said head coach Anthony Gilich.

"We got Drew Sommers hot for the seventh but then scored five in the top of the seventh and Olsen could have finished but since Sommers was ready-we let him close out the game."

Olsen struck out eight in his six innings and gave up only the unearned run to move to 7-0 for the year.

JD McLaughlin clubbed a solo homerun in the sixth.

The five-run seventh all happened with two outs.

Central loaded the bases with two out, then Dayton Dooney cleared 'em with a double, and Dusty Garcia followed with a smash to make it 10-1 and Sommers ended it all in the bottom for the 31st straight win for Central.

Different story in game two.

"Their guy pitched really well" said Gilich

The Phoenix starter held Vaquero bats to a Ryan Grabosch rbi grounder and the Bears took it to Central with a 5-1 win, moving Phoenix to 9-15 overall, while Central lost it's first game of the year and stands at 31-1, with a four game lead over red-hot Pima Community College.

Since the double-header loss to Central in mid-March, Pima has won 14 in a row.

"We talk about winning the week" continued Gilich, "and we did that going 3-1. You love when you sweep the week, but when you win every week, you win it all."

"Hats off to their guy" said Gilich.

"He put just about every pitch in the zone. His fastballs and sliders kept our batters off balance the whole game it seemed like. We just got beaten, plain and simple. He was really good."

The Bears starter was pulled after six and two-thirds, and you'd figure as well as Central welcomes in opposing bullpens, it's a chance to pull off win number 32.

Nope.

All told the Vaqueros had only four hits in game two, with Dooney getting two of them.

Dooney went 4-8 in the doubleheader.

The Vaqueros travel to Yavapai on Tuesday, always an adventure because of a shorter field.

Coming Saturday, Central is back at home for a spell with the difficult Arizona Western Matadors.
