Media Credit: Robert Erdei Winning Pitcher Trevor Scribner sends the ball towards home plate.

There was only two ways De Anza could have lost this game, simply not show up or to pitch underhanded. The Dons dominated from the opening pitch.

Starting Pitcher Trevor Scribner controlled the game like a pro making very few mistakes. He forced players to pop-out or ground-out nearly every at-bat.

The Dons started the game off slow scoring two points in the first inning, and failing to score more runs even with having the bases loaded. They managed to add a run in the second inning.

De Anza Catcher Cody Guarnera caught Nik Smith of Monterey trying to steal second base to ending the third inning and beginning De Anza’s highest scoring inning.

The Dons stirred up a seven-point rally. They hit nearly every pitch was a hit and everything went their way. Bryce Parker came in as middle reliever and continued the streak Scribner started.

The Dons continued to score with three more runs in the seventh and eighth innings. With a 13-0 lead in the ninth inning, Maikel Hurtado came in as closing pitcher and displayed his immaculate pitching style.

De Anza Coach Scott Hertler said Hurtado was outstanding, but he was even better than imaginable. He adds another save to his resume. This victory brought the Dons a boost in morale during a dismal season.
