Panthers playing in the playoffs

On the way to the playoffs as the 2010 Foothill Conference champions the Panthers stomped Antelope Valley, 21-4 on April 29.

In a game that featured 21 runs, on 18 hits, and just one error, the Panthers exposed Valley’s pitching staff. The game was relatively close throughout the first three innings 3-3. Panther freshman hurler Jeremy Weber settled down and began to exhibit great command of all of his pitches by the start of the fourth inning.

It was the bottom of the fourth when the Panther offense exploded. Led by a Christopher Truitt walk, the Panthers produced five runs on six hits, running the score up to 8-3.
Chaffey scored four more runs on four hits in the fifth inning, giving the Panthers a nine-run cushion.

After giving up a triple, which resulted in one run in the six inning, Weber was removed for freshman reliever Berry Matthew, who finished the last three innings without giving up a run.

The Panthers had a very productive eighth, led by freshman outfielder Ryan Cunningham’s three-run homer that helped generate a seven-run inning, putting the game out of reach in front of a enthusiastic home crowd.

Chaffey will host the first round of the Foothill Conference Playoffs on May 7 and 8. The match-ups have yet to be determined.
