Baseball:

Chartr Oak completed the two-game, Valle Vista League sweep of West Covina on Friday.

But the Bulldogs certainly put up a fight this week.

COHS shut out WCHS, 2-0, on Wednesday.

And on Friday, the Chargers edged the visiting Bulldogs, 2-1, thanks to Anthony Vasquez.

Vasquez went the distance, allowing one run on three hits.

He walked two and fanned four West Covina batters.

Jacob Villagas singled and drove in a fifth-inning run.

Steven De Luna walked, singled and scored.

Austin Nguyen’s double was the game’s lone extra-base hit.

Adrian Flores went the first 4 1/3 innings for WCHS, and allowe an unearned run.

Flores didn’t surrender a hit, walked one and fanned one COHS batter.

Edwin Segovia was charged with the loss after allowing an unearned run on two hits.

Segovia did not issue a walk and struck out one.

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Diego Ortiz got the Chargers even as his sac fly scored Nathan Arevalos.

COHS would win the game on a pair of seventh-inning errors.

Samuel Morales and Ezekial Escalera had one single apiece to account for the Chargers’ offense.

Up next: WCHS will host Pomona (7-9) on Wednesday in a nonleague game, and COHS will host winless Diamond Ranch (0-13) in a VVL contest.
