Checking In With The Cubs Story posted on: 4/30/07 The LA City baseball team was busy with four games last week. Three games were regularly scheduled. However, a fourth game against Compton College was added last Friday as make-up for the previous weekend's rain out. All in all, it was a tough week for the Cubs.

City 3 El Camino 8 El Camino jumped to a 4-0 lead after three innings despite solid Cub pitching. ECC only recorded seven hits for their eight runs, but four errors proved costly for LA City. Freshman designated hitter Milton Jefferson was the most productive Cub batter in going 2-for-3.

City 1 El Camino 2 The Cubs rematch against El Camino nearly ended in triumph for LACC. Neither team scored a run in the first five innings. ECC broke the scoring drought in the sixth inning with a single run. They added an insurance run in the eighth. The Cubs battled back in the bottom-of-the-ninth and closed the margin to one run. However, El Camino was able to hold their one run advantage to capture the win.

City 1 Compton College 14 The Cubs were literally out of gas after the El Camino game and Compton took advantage. The Tartars jabbed Cub pitchers for 14 hits compared to LA City's three hits. Five fielding errors also plagued the Cubs. Compton led 14-0 after three innings.

City 0 East Los Angeles College 2 Heartache beset the Cubs in a most winnable game against the Huskies. The Cubs had one of their best overall "fielding" games in weeks as they didn't record a single error. Conversely, their hot batting chilled and only produced five hits. East LA, meanwhile, scored single runs in the second and fifth innings. Cub pitcher Oscar Campos was masterful in only giving up nine hits and one earned run during his nine-inning stint on the mound. |
