Five runs batted in by Mitch Karraker in the third inning sparked Fresno City College to a 19-0 win over Taft. Pitcher Robbie Alcala added with five shutout innings of baseball.
Every one came up to bat for the Rams in that game breaking third inning. The starting pitcher for Taft was ejected for hitting Kevin Lapin with a wild pitch in that inning.
After starting off with a three run lead in the first inning, all hell broke loose in the third inning.
Mitch Karraker started the rally for the Rams with a two run bomb to left field. Bad pitching and fielding miscues led to a host of runs for Fresno City College.
Karraker again got up to bat that same inning and knocked in three more runs, giving him a total of five that inning. With Garret Webber, Tyler Pryor, and a host of the Rams squad scorching the pitching of Taft the game was all but over then.
Fresno City College was definitely the bully on Thursday night. They put Taft in the corner and did not let them out all evening.
Taft only tacked up five hits the whole game. The pitching of Alcala and Whitmore was exactly what the doctor ordered.
Getting a shut out is not easy. Coach Scott will take that rout anytime. It was a complete outing for both the defense and offense Thursday for the Rams.
The way the Rams put up runs, the only way to beat them is to outscore them. Taft College would have had needed twenty to do that.
With a 6 – 2 win over West Hills Saturday the Rams are starting out in the Central Valley Conference this year fairly well (17-4 overall and 4-0 in league play), it promises to be another great season for the rams.
