He didn’t walk anyone and fanned eight Colts’ batters.

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.

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.”
