Coyotes knocked out of playoff hunt thanks to weekend sweep
The giant killers weren't able to repeat.
After shaking up the playoff picture just a week before, the Cerro Coso
baseball team is out of the post season thanks to a three game sweep at
the hands of Rio Hondo, capped off by a pair of losses Saturday, 7-6 and
6-4.
Now sitting in fifth place, the Coyotes are eliminated from the playoff
picture and will shift their focus.
“I'm always a goals guy,” said coach Dick Adams. “We're 18-20 and we
have six games left. I told the guys are new goal make sure above .500
when season's over. But we have so many freshmen, we've just got to keep
building.”

Romero hits for the cycle as Coyotes sweep Barstow
Franklin Romero, Jr., had the day of the 2008 season and it started
with utter perfection.
During Cerro Coso's doubleheader sweep against Barstow on Saturday,
Romero hit for the cycle going 5-5 with five RBIs and four runs scored.
Romero was slightly off in the second game, going 1-4 with a double and
three runs scored. He still managed to reach base to steal three bases.
It was one of the best offensive days in recent Coyote history by a
single player, though records weren't immediately available to find out
how many others had hit for the cycle.
