Sophomore right-hander Gabriel Garcia earned the win with five innings of work allowing one earned run. Garcia improves to 2-0 on the season.

Cypress chipped one in immediately with lead-off hitter, sophomore Matt Avery reaching after being hit by a pitch, hitting second on a failed pickoff, third on a single, and then home to score on a fielder’s choice. The Mounties immediately evened the score at 1-1 in the next half inning.

The Chargers attacked in the second with four more runs. After two straight walks, sophomore catcher Dimitri DeLaFuente drove in a run with an RBI double. With two runners on, sophomore shortstop Johnathan Morales cleared the bases with a three-run homerun to lead 5-1.
