The Cerro Coso Coyotes baseball team spent its week off last week
working out at the Dawg Yard and playing the waiting game.
The wait is over, and the Dawgs have learned that they will take the
fifth seed in the eight-team Foothill Conference Tournament, thanks to
their 12-12 record in conference play, and will play all three games in
the round-robin tournament on the road.
This afternoon, the Coyotes will travel to Rancho Cucamonga and face the
Chaffey College Panthers, the second-place team in the conference with a
19-5 record in Foothill play. The Coyotes will then face San Bernardino
Valley College on Thursday in San Bernardino, and will travel to Palm
Desert on Saturday to face the College of the Desert Roadrunners.
In other tournament action, Antelope Valley will travel to top-seeded
Rio Hondo, Desert will play San Bernardino, and Victor Valley will play
Mt. San Jacinto in today's action.
The winner of the tournament will earn a berth in the state college
playoffs, while Rio Hondo has earned a spot thanks to their first-place
regular season.
Cerro Coso won Foothill Conference championships and last made the state
playoffs in 1999 and 2000.
