After losing a 13 game winning streak, Freshmen Myles Dismute pitched a dominant seven innings to lead Long Beach City College baseball to a 6-0 shutout against El Camino on Thursday.
This comes after the Viking lost to El Camino 6-2 which ultimately ended their 13 game win streak.
“It was outstanding because we had that big long win streak and then we lost on Tuesday so it was great to see them bounce back and play a really good game today,” head coach Casey Crook said.
Dismute pitched seven innings putting up a total of seven strikeouts, four walks, and two hits.
“It’s always expected. Every inning I just go in with the same mind set to just be aggressive and attack,” Dismute said.
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning where both freshman Caleb Brandon and sophomore AJ Quezada hit a double and a single making the score 3-0 Vikings.
The Vikings added to the lead in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly by aophomore Ryan Geck which allowed the runner third to come in and score one run for the Vikings.
In the bottom sixth inning the Vikings took advantage of a pitching change made by El Camino by loading bases but only scored on a sacrifice fly from sophomore Olin Sankenborg.
Sophomore Max Sasaki came in for Dismute in the eighth inning which ultimately helped complete the shutout by putting up only two strikeout and two hits.
“Pitchers, they just want shutouts and then the runs. No runs is very big for the pitchers, they want no runs,” Sasaki said.
Sophomore Reef Danner hit a single in the bottom of the eighth inning to bring home another run and make the score 6-0.
With this win the Vikings would extend their overall record to 20-4 and their conference record to 10-1 as they look to play El Camino again on Saturday.
