SAN DIEGO – Trailing 11-7 after seven innings, West Los Angeles College put together a five-run rally in the top of the eighth inning and held on for a 12-11 non-conference victory at San Diego City College on Wednesday.

A pair of San Diego City errors on a ground ball hit by Isaiah Figueroa with the bases loaded allowed all three runners to score, which proved to be the decidi9ng factor in the game. Earlier in the frame, Nathan Nykaza smacked an RBI-double and Jesus Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly that scored Danny Gill.

The Wildcats had another big inning in the fourth, putting up six runs to take a 6-4 lead. Joshua Kennedy had a two-run triple for the big blow in that rally.

West LA totaled nine hits in the contest, including five for extra bases. Sanchez went 2 for 3 with a double and RBI to lead the Wildcats at the plate.

Andrew Arredondo picked up the win in relief. He tossed the final three innings and allowed no runs and two hits.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for West LA and improved its overall record to 3-10. The Wildcats return to action on Thursday (Mar. 3) when they host Golden West College in a non-conference game.
