The men’s baseball team suffered their worst shutout of the season April 3 at Fullerton College, falling 12-0 to the home team Hornets.

“They just weren’t very good today,” said coach Evan O’Meara.

Left handed starter Adam Wickham gave up 11 hits and 8 runs before being pulled in the fourth inning for left handed reliever Cory Burgard. He got out of the inning, but not before adding a few runs of his own to the scoreboard making the score 9-0.

Burgard pitched through the seventh inning giving up two more runs making the score 11-0 when righty Trevor Gleason started the eighth.

Gleason gave up 2 hits, a walk, and hit a batter, in six Hornets faced, ending the inning with a score of 12-0.

“My arm has hurt for a week,” said a frustrated Gleason, throwing his glove down after walking off the field. 

Pitching wasn’t the only issue for PCC. Four Lancer fielding errors, and weak bats contributed to the loss.

“[The problem] is effort errors where you don’t even try,” said O’Meara, adding that some players may have checked out on a season filled with setbacks.

“They really want to be doing well, they’re just so incredibly frustrated.”

The only Lancer with multiple hits was designated hitter David Halstead, who went 2 for 4, and the only extra base hit was a double by center fielder Charles Smith in the top of the fifth inning.

Second baseman Matt Chavez and shortstop Tyler Dominguez also singled in the game.
