Baseball:
The Ventura County Bucs and the visiting Arroyo Seco Sentinels finished in a 5-5 tie on Saturday afternoon at LA Valley College.
The Bucs had a lot more on the line than did the Sentinels.
Arroyo Seco has already secured a Baseball Census Collegiate Summer League regular season title.
With one week to go, the Bucs, however, are on the outside looking in.
The top four programs in the six-team BCCSL will open its first postseason next Saturday, and VCB is one-game back of the fourth-place Orange County Juice in the win column.
The Bucs trailed 4-0 in the top of the fourth when they scored four of their own, and they took a 5-4 lead after getting a single run in the fifth.
The Sentinels scored once in the sixth and neither program scored in the last three innings.
Five errors cost the VCB two runs.
