AVC Baseball got their first win under new head coach Bryan Moses as they outlasted Rio Hondo 10-9 on Saturday. The Roadrunners jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st inning, but the Marauders answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning. William Joseph hit a 2-RBI double, and Ryan Rose recorded an RBI on a fielder's choice to put AVC up by a run.
Rio Hondo scored in the 3rd and 4th inning to take a 4-3 lead, but AVC answered again with two runs in the 4th behind an RBI single from Joe Uribe and an RBI double from William Joseph. Joseph finished 2-for-3 with 3 RBI.
The Roadrunners retook the lead after scoring two runs in the 6th. AVC fought right back with a four-run 6th inning themselves. With the bases loaded, Nate Scott was hit by a pitch, and Lupe Puentes drew a walk bringing in two runs. DH Josh Nuno then hit a 2-RBI double to give the Marauders a 9-6 lead.
Rio Hondo made one last push and tied the game at 9-9 in the 7th inning. Mason Johnson hit a sacrifice fly to right field, giving AVC what would end up being the winning run in the bottom of the 8th. Starting pitcher Jake Glickman went three innings, but it was Patrick Berry who got the win for the Marauders with four strikeouts in two innings of work. Sam Maudsley recorded his first save of the season. Both Josh Nuno and Dom Antinetti finished 2-for-4, while Ariv Camacho had three hits in five at-bats.
AVC will battle West Hils Coalinga next, on Tuesday, 2/1 at 2:00 pm at home.
