The Oxnard Condor baseball squad is fighting to stay in the WSC race. They traveled to Ventura College on Tuesday and came away with a hard-fought 13-9 win at the Sports Complex.
Ray Chacon earned his fifth win on the season, with Jason Gomez picking up his second save.
Daniel Cabral was 3 for 4 on the afternoon, with four runs scored, and an RBI. Ramon Gomez was 2 for 4 with three runs and two RBI's. Niko Lima continued to swing a power bat, blasting his sixth HR of the season. Austin Maciel was 1 for 3 with three RBI's.
The game went back and fourth, until the seventh inning when OC claimed the lead for good.
Thursday's final game between the two cross-county rivals did not go as well for the Condors.
VC jumped out to an early lead on several miscues, 2-0 after one inning.
In the bottom of the second, Austin Maciel (1-3, 2 runs, 1 RBI) brought OC within one run with a towering home run to center.
In the fourth and fifth innings, VC tacked on five more runs, on an HR by Jacob Harris and a combination of VC hits and OC errors.
Oxnard clawed back into the game on an RBI triple by Raul Sandoval (2-4, 3 runs, and 2 RBI's), and RBI singles by Niko Lima and Sandoval.
Ramon Gomez was 2 for 5 on the day, and Michael Jester was 2-3, but Oxnard did not play solidly on the defensive side, suffering a 10-5 defeat.
The Condors are back in action on Saturday, April 6th as they host Hancock College at 1:00
