Freshman outfielder Briana Aguilar had the only run on Tuesday, as the Long Beach City College softball team lost 9-1 against visitor Chaffey College.
Freshman pitcher Noelany Benitez was having trouble the entirety of the game, and so freshman pitcher Britney Runyon was substituted in.
The Panthers were the first to score in the top of the 1st inning, as sophomore Alyssa Diaz homered it to left field.
Benitez pitched six hits, six base on balls, and two home runs, Runyon pitched two hits, two base on balls, and no home runs.
“I really had to adjust for my team, I need to focus more, for we can start winning again,” Benitez said.
According to Assistant Coach Gunnar Seedborg, the team’s main focus for the next few games is the pitching.
The Vikings are currently in a three game losing streak, they previously lost against East Los Angeles and Cypress.
“Nothing worried us about Chaffey, we just have to fix our pitching to get back to the win column,” said Head Coach Megan Martinez.
The Panthers were in control the whole game, the Panthers had three runs in the 2nd inning, and four runs in the fifth inning.
Sophomore pitcher Veronica Macias had only four hits, and one base on balls for the Panthers.
The Vikings reduce their overall record to 13-10, and 6-6 in the South Coast Conference.
LBCC was set to play Chaffey earlier in the season but was rescheduled for April 1st due to rain.
The Vikings are set to play Mt. San Antonio next, who gave the Vikings their first lost earlier in the season 10-1, the game will be away on March 21 at 3:00 p.m.
