Baseball:
Charter Oak picked up a two-game Valle Vista League sweep after Friday’s 13-1 victory at Covina.
Chris Ceballos went the distance, allowing just one run on four hits.
He didn’t walk anyone and fanned eight Colts’ batters.
Ryan Perez tripled and scored in the first inning and then Ceballos silenced Covina’s bats the rest of the way.
Perez also got the loss after allowing four runs (one earned) on four hits over his five innings of work.
He walked four and struck out eight Charter Oak batters.
Evan Avitia had a big day at the plate, going 3-for-5, including a double, triple, RBI and three runs scored.
Ceballos walked twice, singled, doubled, drove in two runs and scored a pair of runs.
Gabriel Rico went 2-for-4, with two RBIs and a run.
Zack Bauer walked three times and scored once.
Danny Hirota had a two-RBI base hit.
Chris Sanchez singled, tripled and scored twice and Ethan Milleson had two singles and scored twice.
Diego Ortiz singled and drove in a run.
Up next: Charter Oak begins a two-game VVL series with West Covina starting on Wednesday and Covina will face off with San Dimas in a pair of games next week.
Quotable:
Charter Oak coach, Elias Flores: “I am so proud of our players. During a recent cold streak, we had a heart-to-heart with the guys and they had a players-only meeting, and we all agreed to take accountability for our actions, including where we needed to improve and to commit ourselves to the process. We had a great week against Covina and we look forward to next week against West Covina.”
