Vaqueros Rough Up Roughriders In Second Game For A Split

-Blade Contributing Writer-Central Arizona College Baseball

(Signal Peak)-Nice baseball game in the first one at McSwain Field on Saturday, the second game?

REALLY nice.

You don't always win nice baseball games and Tyler Woessner threw four shutout innings in game one holding onto a 3-0 lead and everything seemed like every Woessner (4-0) start. There was trouble in the top of the fifth as Yavapai Community College put together a few hits, a sac fly, and a walk to tie up the game at three, and the Roughriders' Sean Rimmer hit one out in the top of the seventh off reliever Matt Wilkinson for a 4-3 lead and that's how it ended.

Leadoff hitter Ryan Ball keeps hitting long ones and his three run homerun gave the Vaqs their three for the game in the bottom of the second.

A conference loss, but still, a nice baseball game.

Ball now has a team-leading seven HR for the year.

Game two was REALLY nice, and it all started in the bottom of the second with seven runs for Central, four more in the fourth, and the three-run bottom of the sixth led the way for Drew Sommers to quickly retire Yavapai in the top of the seventh for the run-rule win.

The game two final was 15-5.

Complete game with zero walks and seven K's for starter Tyson Heaton in game two Saturday

Jaylin Rae went four-for-four with two doubles (fuego) and drove in four more runs. He now has his average up to .404, and Kiko Romero blasted two into space driving in five runs as Central won game two 15-5.

Vinnie Lagatta scored four times, Dusty Garcia returned from a nagging injury and went one-for one.

But with four at bats.

He ripped one through the right side early and walked three other times and scored twice.

Welcome back m'man.

Garcia hit fifth in both games.

"Romero is ripping everything so we bumped him into third, we like Ashtin Webb at clean-up" said the head coach Anthony Gilich.

Ball is the lead-off so far, he is drawing walks, leads the team in hits, he's hitting homeruns, driving in and scoring runs, and Lagatta, hitting second, is running around the bases with singles and doubles and leads the team in freebies with 22.

Romero?

Kiko leads the team in rbi's and just watch the easy swing that produces rockets.

It's a sight to see.

"Looks like it's going to drop in the gap" you say to yourself.

"Looks like its a two-hopper in the gap" you say next.

"Looks like a ya-ya" you end up saying.

"It's in the cotton field" you say after that.

Central is 9-3 in conference play, a game behind Arizona Western who is 9-1.

Next up for Central is a weekday home-and-away with Gateway and a week end home-and-away with Chandler Gilbert Community College, featuring their yearly night matchup in Chandler.
