Sophomore infielder Raul Gonzalez was the first one to bring it home for the Vikings, as the Long Beach City College baseball team won 9-3 against visitor Compton College.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gonzalez improved from his last appearance against Santa Ana College, Gonzales ended with two runs in total against Compton, where he had no runs against Santa Ana.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about just improving and fixing my mistakes overtime, and I know my teammates and coaches are here to help me out,\u201d Gonzales said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman outfielder Zach Rivas was right behind Gonzales, as he was the only other player to have two runs in the game.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophomore pitcher Garrett Rennie had a better game than average, Rennie had 9 strikeouts against the Tartars and no home runs
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI really have to keep my focus for the rest of the season. I think that\u2019s what brought us here, having our focus as our priority,\u201d Rennie said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tartars were having trouble the entirety of the game, sophomore left hand pitcher Kevin Smith had six base on balls.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have two more games against Long Beach so I\u2019m not completely worried, but if we want to be better, it has to start with me,\u201d Smith said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Vikings Head Coach Casey Crook, the Vikings need to work on their decisions in the infield, as the team had missed opportunities during the game.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings are set to play the Tartars two more times, and Head Coach Martinez plans to win them all and to go as far as possible in the conference.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are capable of going as far as possible in the conference it because I\u2019ve been in these situations many times,\u201d Martinez said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to run less people and we have to our infield catchers focused. But it also really depends who we play, that’s the uncertainty I have for our future.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings increase their overall record to 25-13, and 16-4 in the South Coast Conference.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings are set to play Compton College again, and one more time after that, the next game will be at Compton College on today at 2:30 p.m.
