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.

Cerro Coso in ‘must sweep' mode against Barstow
Despite giving up six runs in the final two innings against Barstow,
Cerro Coso cruised to a 15-10 victory on Thursday.
The Coyotes had 15 hits and jumped out a 14-4 lead through seven
innings, prompting Dick Adams to pull starter Steve Johnson who improved
to 6-4.
Adams, however, was a little nervous with the end of the game, heading
into Barstow today.
“Heading into Saturday, we didn't want them felling to good about
themselves, but they hit a couple of bombs against us,” Adams said.
“We're in sweep mode. We need momentum as we make a run at the second
playoff sport. We have no breathing room. We need to win, win. It's a
must sweep situation.”

Coyotes split twin bill with AVC, goes 2-3 in series
During both games in Saturday's doubleheader against Antelope Valley
College, Cerro Coso found itself with a chance to come from behind late.
The Coyotes failed to get the job done in the first game, but exploded
for four runs in the second to split the twin bill and win two out of
three from the Marauders.
“We had a nice explosion there in the second game and came back and got
two out of three, which is a good thing,” said Coach Dick Adams. “To get
three would have been better, but two out of three is still pretty
good.”
