What seemed to be a bullpen game for the Panthers, shows how deep their bullpen is.

City College baseball won a victory over Reedley College April 15, a contending team that is not in its conference. The Panthers triumphed 8-1.

Danny Chavez made his first start of the season for the Panthers, giving up no runs on two hits in four innings pitched. A total of five pitchers were on the mound for the Panthers. Out of those five pitchers, they gave up one run on eight total hits. Adam Erickson, the Panthers’ third pitcher of the day, was credited with the win.

When your bats are hot, pitching is not far behind. City College was able to put up eight runs on the board to back its pitchers. Shaq Robinson and Malcolm Boehm combined for five RBIs.

“Just keep winning” seems to be the motto for the Panthers, as they won their fifth straight game. With the win it puts them in first place in their conference with 17 wins and 4 losses. Their overall record for the season sits at an impressive 27 wins and 8 losses.
