Chabot Sweeps Error-plagued Rams

After a 4-0 start, the Fresno City College baseball team dropped a three-game series against Chabot on Feb. 19-20. The losses give the Rams a 4-3 record, going into their Central Valley Conference-opening series this week against Taft.

In this past weekend’s series, the Rams lost to Chabot by scores of 5-4, 3-2, and 10-2.

FCC coach Ron Scott said that the Chabot series was difficult but is one to learn from. “With seven errors to their five, we need to work on handling the little things because that’s what wins baseball games,” Scott said.

The players leading the Rams are pitcher Paul Anaya, with a fielding percent of .888; right fielder Brandon King with 6 RBI and a perfect fielding average; catcher Zach Sullivan with 4 RBI and a .980 fielding average; and third baseman David Rohm, leading the team across the board in eight categories such as batting average (.538), hits and RBI.

During the President’s Day weekend, the Rams collected two wins, 3-1 and 21-18, against Modesto Junior College.

The Rams faced Modesto on Valentine’s Day and they showed no love for the Pirates. First baseman Brett Jones hit a home run over the 350-foot wall in the fifth inning and Nate Delena hit a grand slam. Rohm totaled 4 RBI and batted 3-for-5.

The team opened its season Feb. 4, beating Sacramento City College 9-2 and 13-7 in a double-header. In game one, center fielder Brandon Hederson led the Rams with 3 RBI and Rohm batted 3-for-4 with 1 RBI. Chris Gonzalez earned the win on the mound, striking out four in four innings in relief of the starting pitcher, Anaya.

In the second game, Hederson batted 2-for-4 with 2 RBI and Rohm went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI. Shortstop Bryce Barger also batted 3-for-5. Rams pitcher Sean Buford got the win, striking out seven in four innings in relief of starting pitcher Michael York.
