Vikings Rally With Come-From-Behind Win Against Pierce

The No. 11 Vikings extended their winning-streak to four games with a come-from-behind 5-4 win against LA Pierce College. The Vikings are currently undefeated with a 4-0 record.

Sophomore pitcher Jonathan Martz (1-0) earned the win on the hill with only allowing the Brahmas to one hit. Freshman pitcher Moises Guzman took home his first save of the season with also only allowing Brahmas to one hit, while striking out two.

The Vikings were first on the board with an RBI single from sophomore shortstop David Rivera to bring in sophomore designated hitter Lucas Gonzalez to lead Pierce 1-0.

In the top of second, the Brahmas walked in one run, and then hit a three RBI triple to lead the Vikings. They squeezed in one more run off a sacrifice fly and ended the inning with the 5-1 lead.

In the bottom of the third, sophomore center fielder Carter White hit a single to score in Gonzalez and then freshman third baseman Alex Seguine blasted a two RBI single to right field to score in Rivera and White to start closing in on the Brahmas 4-5.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Vikings rallied and sophomore first baseman Zach Rivas blasted a triple to center field to have freshman catcher Diego Altamirano tie the game 5-5. Rivas scored the final run to help the Vikings win the game 5-4.

The Long Beach City College baseball team will return tomorrow in the final game of the Southern California Challenge at 10 a.m.
