Lose close, win big

And so the pattern continues.

One day after winning a surprising close game, the Cerritos College softball team lost another one-run game and followed it up with a big win this past weekend.

Cerritos fell short to Saddleback, 4-3, on Friday. After the tough loss to Saddleback, the Falcons bounced back beating Grossmont, 15-0, in five innings on Saturday.

Just when Cerritos looked like it was improving its ability to come out of close games with a victory, it proved once again that it can't.

Out of the nine losses Cerritos has suffered this year, five have been by one run.

There are only six games left in the regular season before playoffs and the Falcons can't expect to get the second chances they've been getting after their losses.

"Go big or go home" is what best describes the Falcons.

By the looks of it, if they aren't leading teams by more than eight runs, they are definitely going home early this postseason.
