Pro-Am Bucs Cruise to Victory over Redbirds



Los Angeles Valley College, Tuesday, June 6th, 4 pm - In a regular-season contest at Los Angeles Valley College, the Pro-Am Bucs clashed with the Redbirds in their third game of the year. With an undefeated 2-0 record, the Bucs aim to continue their winning streak after defeating the Redbirds 14-3 in their previous match.


The Pro-Am Bucs asserted their dominance again, emerging victorious with a commanding 9-2 final score. The game ended in the top of the 9th inning, as the Bucs maintained a significant lead throughout.


Andrew Sharp, the designated hitter, put on a standout performance for the Bucs. In the second inning, Sharp crushed a three-run home run, securing three crucial RBIs. This marked his only hit of the game, following his two-run homer against the Redbirds in their previous encounter. Sharp's consistent power at the plate proved to be a thorn in the Redbirds' side.

In the following inning, they added two more runs, further extending their lead. The Redbirds broke their scoring drought in the 6th and 8th innings, scoring one run each.


The Bucs showcased their confidence on the base path, stealing 5 bases throughout the contest. Brodie Romero and Brandon Whiting were instrumental in this aspect, each stealing two bases. Notably, they executed back-to-back steals of both second and third base, with Romero achieving the feat in the 7th inning after hitting a single, and Whiting replicating the effort in the 8th inning after drawing a walk.


The Redbirds struggled to contain the Bucs' offensive onslaught, hitting 4 Bucs batters throughout the game. They surrendered 9 runs on 13 hits, while the Redbirds managed only 5 hits.


In a testament to the Bucs' depth, every run scored was driven in by a different player, with 9 different players crossing the plate.
