College Baseball:
Mt. SAC had to wait two extra days to finish its three-game South Coast Conference series with East Los Angeles College.
Mother Nature pushed Saturday’s game to Monday.
And the Mounties didn’t waste a second in taking a 10-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
Mt. SAC got three more in the top of the second, and they held on for a 14-10 victory over the SCC cellar dwellers.
MSAC also claimed their first SCC series of the 2024 season, 2-1.
The Mounties roughed up Andrew Contreras for seven runs (five earned) on four hits and one walk over just 1/3 of an inning.
Mt. SAC was equally the rude guest of Ricardo Villegas as well.
Villegas was charged with six runs on nine hits over 7 2/3 innings.
He walked a pair and struck out seven MSAC batters.

Matt Viveros went 4 2/3 innings and surrendered two runs on two hits and five walks.
