Softball holding strong

Apparently, the Cerritos College softball team wasn't finished riding the roller coaster.

Just when doubt was in the air after losing another close game over the weekend to Saddleback, 4-3, the Falcons proved why they should still be a championship contender.

Cerritos participated in the San Diego City Tournament and played five games over the weekend. Aside from the tough loss to Saddleback, Cerritos won four of the five games in an impressive fashion including a one-run victory.

The results of this weekend are:

Saddleback L, 4-3
Oxnard W, 12-1
Orange Coast W, 10-2
Grossmont W, 14-0
Fullerton W, 4-3

Momentum is beginning to ride the Falcons way once again after a rough end of March. They are on the verge of clinching the SCC title and are currently on a four-game winning streak.

Cerritos has a couple obstacles to overcome the next three weeks of the regular season.

The Falcons will have to protect a feeble two-game lead over Mt. SAC who is currently in second place in the SCC. In the six-game stretch, Cerritos will travel to face a hungry Mt. SAC team who defeated the Falcons in their last meeting at Cerritos and Pasadena City where it escaped with a one-run win last Thursday.

If Cerritos does in fact overcome the obstacles ahead, teams should be worried about facing it in the playoffs.
