College Baseball:
What a solid start to the 2026 season for the Chaffey College baseball program.
The Panthers lost their skipper and many of their elite players to Citrus College back in August.
Grant Mayeaux came in, and Chaffey secured an 8-4 victory at San Diego City College in his debut.
The Panthers led 6-0 before the Knights got three runs in the bottom of the seventh and one more in the eighth.
Trevor Young went four scoreless innings and allowed just three hits in a starting role.
Young issued a pair of walks and fanned four.
Dominick Fazzini was credited with the win after going 2 2/3 innings.
Fazzini was charged with three runs on three hits.
He walked one and struck out three.
Davis Sharp got the final seven outs, allowing an unearned run on one hit.
Sharp walked one and fanned a pair of San Diego batters.
Chris Marquez went 3-for-4 with two runs.
Kaden Hermsen drove in a run on a sac fly and doubled.
Joel Romo singled and scored.
Brandon Manzella drew a pair of walks, singled in a run in the seventh and scored.
Gabriel Esteban was charged with the loss after surrendering six runs (five earned) on four hits over four innings.
Esteban issued five walks and struck out six Chaffey batters.
Leading 3-0 in the top of the fifth, Jack Terry had a huge bases-clearing double to extend the Panthers advantage to 6-0.
Dylan Buzard walked twice, hit a two-run home run, and scored a pair of runs.
David Trujillo singled twice and scored two runs from the leadoff spot.
Andrew Cuellar drew three walks, singled in a run and scored.
Mason Danison went 2-for-4 with a walk, RBI single in the third to get Chaffey on the board, and one run scored.
Adrian Sanchez drew a pair of walks and scored two runs.
Up next: The Panthers travel to Fullerton on Saturday at noon.
The Hornets fell 8-3 at Citrus in their season opener.
Quotable:
Chaffey coach, Grant Mayeaux: “It’s always good to get the first one out of the way. I’m really happy with the guys and the level of buy-in they have. They weren’t certain who their head coach would be, but it seems like they trust us like we trust them. I wasn’t sure what we were going to get out of our guys (pitchers) today, and they threw a lot of strikes and didn’t walk many batters. Trevor kept them off balanced, and he doesn’t seem to get phased on the mound. Dom ran into some trouble, but he didn’t take his foot off the gas pedal, and I was happy with the way he competed. Davis came in and closed the door, and he was as cool as he possibly could be. Jack Terry’s double was huge with two strikes. It gave us more room for error.”
