Boys Tennis
Varsity:Lompoc @ Cabrillo
JV: Cabrillo @ Lompoc
The Lompoc and Cabrillo boys tennis teams faced off against each other on Tuesday at CHS and the action followed a familiar pattern for Lompoc Head Coach Loretta Jensen - " We have a thing, they [CHS Coaches Dan Troup & Jeff Dacus] beat me with the girls and I beat them with the boys."
The Braves swamped the Conq's in singles going 8-1 in sets and only surrendering 10 games to Cabrillo, and seven of those ten were in Eric Wang's 7-5 victory over #3 singles Marco Psallo. They were the only games Psallo lost all day, winning his other two sets by 6-0 scores. Lompoc's #1 & #2 singles players, Alex Jensen and Robert Rodriguez, both swept three sets with Jensen losing one game and Rodriguez losing two against Ben Brady. Cabrillo's Calvin Hoffeld was, unusually, shut out.
The Conq's were a tad more successful in doubles, winning three of the nine sets. In the clash of #1 doubles teams Cabrillo came out on top, with Jordan Daniels and Ryan Anderson handing Kyle Thumm and Anthony Yang their only game losses on the day and taking the set 7-5. Daniels then teamed with substitute Arjun Ayyar to beat the #2 doubles team of Joel Martin and Jesus Abrego 6-3 in the last round. Cabrillo got their third doubles set win from Casey Owen & Jose Flores who beat Martin & Abrego 6-3. Cabrillo almost picked up a fourth win as Tanner Stark & Peter Rapoza came back from being down 1-5 to push Martin/Abrego to a tie-break before losing 7-6 (7-5).
The big boost for the Braves came from the #3 doubles pair, Oscar Rodriguez & Cooper Barrick who swept their three sets - all by 6-4 scores.
In the JV match-up it was all Cabrillo, at least through the first two rounds. Lompoc coach Jim Steffey was only able to put five players, many of whom have only been playing the sport for six weeks, on the court versus the Conquistadors. [He hopes to have a sixth for Thursdays match.] But that meant that the Braves had to forfeit six sets in doubles, since they were able to field only one pair. That pairing of Devin Day & Edgar Solis, however, posted the only Lompoc win in the first two rounds by topping Manny Contreras and Ryan Brady 6-2. They lost in the second round to Ricky Ruiz & Ricky Cummings by that same 6-2 score, but also came close against Matt Sturmreiter & Daniel Garmendia losing a 7-6 (8-6) squeaker.
In singles Carlos Diaz led David Terrones 3-1, before dropping the set 7-5. He then lost to Jeff Rodriguez 3-6, before defeating Frankie Caldera 6-3. Chris Aldama lost (0-6, 2-6,2-6) to Terrones, Caldera. & Rodriguez. While Gabriel Hernadez lost to Rodriguez (6-2), and pushed Caldera to a tie-break, before bowing 7-6 (7-5).He lost to Terrones 6-1 in the 3rd round.
Santa Ynez (2-1, 4-4) defeated Templeton 15-3. On Thursday, Lompoc (3-0 LPL) hosts Morro Bay, and Cabrillo (1-3 LPL) hosts Templeton.

Cabrillo vs. Santa Ynez
Abayari laced this one into that gap in left center
Cabrillo had managed to take a lead with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, and was looking to add on some insurance when Meranda Fernandes came to the plate with two on in the sixth. But no-one really expected the offensive onslaught that her homer would ignite. Her three run home run was quickly followed by one, then two, then three more baserunners - all of whom scored on Alyssa Abayari's line shot double over second base The Pirates changed pitchers , but were unable to stop the bleeding as the Conquistadors added two more runs and the game was called due to the 10-run rule.
Lompoc vs. Santa Maria
The Braves and Saints fought a see-saw battle at LHS with the saints coming out on top. Lompoc jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first. And it looked like they had things going their way when they were able to get out of bases loaded, no out situation in the top of the third. Pitcher Courtney Dosa gave up a walk and a single, another single brought in a run and the runners advanced to 2nd & 3rd on the throw to the plate which was not in time. Dosa issued a walk to load the bases and then induced a pop-up to first for the initial out. A hard grounder resulted in a low throw at the plate that catcher Lauren Lopes somehow managed to dig out of the dirt for out number two. The next batter worked the count to full, then struck out looking.
The Lompoc faithful began breathing again, but it was not to be their day. Santa Maria scored three in the fifth, two on singles and a throwing error, and a third on yet another single off of Braves reliever Brianna Vickery.
Lompoc struck back though when Paty Martinez scored on Carrillo's double, and Carrillo scored on a double by Dosa.
The Braves defense unfortunately did not hold up. A passed ball on a third strike, a throwing error, and a base hit all contributed to two more Saints runs.
The Lompoc JV, on the other hand cruised to a 13-0 win in a five-inning affair at Santa Maria. Megan Maddock pitched four innings before being relieved by "newcomer" Sara Crandall. Crandall was on the team last year, but just rejoined the squad in the last few days. Coach Eva Luna gave "kudos" to Maddock (also batting leadoff), Mariah LaShore, Yvonne Luna, Monica Gaitan, Alyssa Miclat (with a nice assist), and Adrianna Davis for her defense.
Thursday, Lompoc [0-1, 3-3] is at St. Joseph [0-1, 4-4]. Cabrillo [1-0, 7-2] take their five game winning streak to Santa Maria [1-0, 5-4]. Morro Bay [0-0, 7-3] is at Santa Ynez [0-1, 5-6], and Templeton is off.

Lompoc vs. Santa Maria.
The Braves exploded all over the Saints pitching, with plenty of offense to go around. Brandon Alonzo went 4-5, 2 RBI, & 4 runs scored; Daniel Mallory was 3-4, 4 RBI, & 3 runs , and Cody Berryman hit 2-4, 6 RBI, & 2 runs. The Braves bats were unleashed after the Saints took a 2-0 lead in the first. The Lompoc JV reportedly won 15-2.
Cabrillo vs. Santa Ynez.
The Conq's were up 3-1 going into the sixth inning and fans were discussing how good it was to start off league with a win - then the wheels came off. With runners on 1st & 2nd, pitcher Duece Galvan induced a sacrifice fly ball for the second out, but it appeared that he would get out of the inning when the next batter hit a sharp grounder to third base. Unfortunately for Cabrillo, the ball veered towards the line on a hard hop, and handcuffed the third-baseman whose throw was inside of the bag at first and in the dirt. Both runners scored to tie it at three apiece, and the batter was safe at first. A double to center, just past the second-baseman, by the next batter, brought him home to give the Pirates the 4-3 lead. They pushed across another run later, but the game turned on those back-to-back plays within about a two minute span.
On Thursday,
