Bitter-sweet situation for softball team

Not only is the Cerritos College softball team winning, they're obliterating the competition mid-way through the season. But that might not be a good thing toward the end of the season.

The Falcons are averaging eight runs a game and also beating teams by seven runs or more.

The Falcons have gotten quite familiar with the mercy rule as they have utilized it in 10 of their 19 wins.

The only problem is that as it gets deeper into the season, playoffs in particular, it will not know how to handle the pressures of close games.

Teams in the playoffs will not roll over like the El Caminos and the LA Harbors.

With all the success stomping on other teams, the Falcons should be concerned about not finishing off teams in close situations.

The main problem is that the only solution in learning how to complete those close games with a win is through experience and the Falcons don't have much of that.

The Falcons have a total of four losses. In those four losses, three have been by one run and the other was by three runs.
