The Vikings lose big to the El Camino Warriors 11-2 due to mistakes early on in the game at LBCC on Thursday.
The Vikings gave up seven runs along with 2 errors in the ninth inning.
Player Cross Stephens spoke about the Vikings’ loss today.
“I just think we had a few mistakes, and they kept on snowballing. And from there, it got out of control.”
The Vikings walked 3 El Camino players because of hit by pitches, a season high.

Player Erick Espinosa was asked what went wrong in today’s game.
“We struggled as well as last game with not getting the bats off, or swinging right away. Not being aggressive early led to us scoring runs later in the game, which isn’t good enough to win the game,” Espinosa said.
The Vikings only scored 2 runs, one of which coming from a solo homerun by Player Eshua Desai in the 7th inning. The other came from leadoff batter Myles Fendrick, who drove in an RBI single.
Player Tyzer Handy was asked about what’s needed to win games.
“Definitely staying hot once we get a lead, capitalizing on it. Using that momentum to win games,” Handy said.
Despite the poor performance, The Vikings plan to bounce back in their next game.
The Vikings will play on Thursday against Cerritos at 2 p.m. for the second game of the series after winning 7-5 on Tuesday.
