2010 SEASON PREVIEW

“

We have a large nucleus of experienced sophomores and a good mix of some talented freshmen.�

2

010 looks promising on paper for the Chargers. We have a large nucleus of experienced sophomores and a good mix of some talented freshmen. Around the diamond: Starting on the mound, the Chargers return sophomores Ray Hanson, Tom Hoenshell who returns after a year off from injury, Gabe Garcia, Travis Garrett,signed early with UCI and Matt Rush who got significant innings last year. Vince Payne. Connor Haddock, and Travis Pitcher have been impressive as freshmen on the mound. Offensively, we return shortstop Johnny Morales who signed early with Virginia Tech. He loves to play this game and will get every opportunity to show skills. Our outfield should be a strength and have some depth. Jordan Foreman, Eric Hempe who has committed early to

Central Florida, left-handed Corey Levier, David Silvas and Justin McGuire can all hit and should provide veteran leadership. Three sophomore newcomers who should be run producers and leaders are DC Legg, Ben Waldrip who has signed early with Jacksonville State, and Matt Avery. Dimitri DeLaFuente makes the transition from third base to behind the plate. His ability to lock in for nine innings will be a key to our season. Jake Kungl, who was very good for us as a freshman will be a key for us both defensively and offensively at third base. Key freshmen include Joey Boney at second base and shortstop, Jake Clark at first base,The experience, depth and sophomore leadership should be a plus for the 2010 Chargers as we get ready to battle in the Orange Empire Conference.

T

he Orange Empire Conference was again one of the most competitive in the state in 2009 as the OEC finished the regular season second in conference RPI rankings in California dropping slightly below the Big 8. Cypress, Santa Ana, and Orange Coast ended up in a three-way tie for the conference championship in a top-heavy conference. Cypress improved on their fourth place, 12-9 finish from 2008 with just seven loses. Orange Empire teams made a strong showing in the playoffs as four OEC teams made it to playoffs and all four moved on to Super Regional play (Cypress, Santa Ana, Orange Coast, and Saddleback). The OEC battled it out in Super Regional play and the OEC took both of the spots in the South as Orange Coast and Santa Ana advanced. The Dons were eliminated in the second day but Orange Coast went undefeated in the State tournament on the way to the State Championship, their first. The OEC has produced 13 State Champions over the past 19 seasons. Cypress and Riverside lead the way with four state crowns (Cypress: 1991, 1994, 1997, 2003; Riverside: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007) while Santa Ana (1993, 1995, 1996) is right behind them with three. Saddleback captured its first state crown in 2004 by defeating Cypress and now Orange Coast in 2009.

ypress had a strong start in 2009. After losing the first game, Cypress went on a 6-1 run until losing to Chaffey by one at home. Cypress lost two games at their annual trip to Southern Nevada taking on some tough out-of-state teams like Miami Dade and host Southern Nevada. Cypress returned home to begin Orange Empire Conference Action in what would become one of the most competitive seasons to date. The Chargers started hot winning five straight before losing to Saddleback. Cypress’s toughest streak was two straight losses to fellow OEC Champs Orange Coast before losing to the other OEC Champ Santa Ana. With just a week left in the regular season, Cypress was two games behind first place. The Chargers had the Conference Mini-Tournament remaining with just three games left. Cypress won two straight defeating Riverside and Fullerton before a dramatic end-of-the-season showdown against rival Santa Ana. Conference drama came down to the final game for Cypress taking on Rival Santa Ana. Cypress pulled through defeating the Dons 6-3 while Orange Coast lost securing their first OEC Championship since 2006. Cypress was one of four OEC teams to make the playoffs as the Chargers were seeded fourth, just above Santa Ana. Cy 2010 CHARGER BASEBALL

2009 SEASON REVIEW press hosted 13th seed Allan Hancock in the first round sweeping the Bulldogs handily 10-3 and 11-3 punching their ticket to the Super Regionals. The Chargers headed to second seeded Orange Coast for the Super Regionals along with Mt. San Jacinto and Saddleback. Cypress opened the tournament with a 6-0 shutout win over Mt. San Jacinto. Cypress moved to the

winner’s bracket taking on host Orange Coast. The Chargers were overpowered by the Pirates 11-3 forcing Cypress into the loser’s bracket and their second game of the day. Cypress faced Mt. San Jacinto in a rematch with their seasons on the line. In a wild back-and-forth game, Cypress gave up an eighth inning to Mt. San Jac giving them the 10-9 lead. Cypress put

two runners on in the bottom of the ninth but were unable to score losing the game by one and ending their 2009 season. Cypress finished the season 32-16 and 17-7 in conference. The 2009 Charger season produced their first OEC Championship and most wins since 2006.

After winning the Orange Empire Conference’s top-seed on the final day of the regular season, Cypress went 8-1 in the post-season. The Chargers were especially impressive in the three state tournament games in Fresno. Cypress opened with a 13-1 victory over Feather River College before routing Saddleback College in a pair of games (16-1, 13-3). In the 13-3 title victory, catcher Felipe Garcia hit two home runs and pitcher Justin Keadle tossed a complete game with eight strikeouts. Tournament Most Valuable Player honors went to Felipe Garcia (8-12, 2HR, 2 doubles, 6 RBIs), Kevin Smith (7-13, 3 doubles, 7 RBIs) and Jason Vargas (1-0, 1.33 ERA, 5-10 batting, 3 RBIs).

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

fter losing the first game of the state tourney at Cerritos College on Saturday, May 28 to Lassen, 7-1, the Chargers needed four consecutive victories to nail down the state crown. They got them all. On Sunday, Cypress eliminated Chabot in the morning game, 9-4, and then came back to knockout Lassen, 4-2. The Chargers topped defending champion Rancho Santiago in a doubleheader on Monday, May 30 to win the title. The Cypress heroes were plentiful. Great pitching by starter Rob Crabtree and reliever Andy Gonzales helped the Chargers win the first game in 14 innings, 5-3. Gonzales, who got the victory with six innings of four-hit ball in the opener, came back to start and win the championship game 8-5. Shortstop Augie Ojeda was named MVP on the strength of his tremendous glove work.

he Chargers, after finishing third in the Orange Empire Conference, went on an impressive 8-1 post-season run to capture their first state championship. In the Southern California Regional Championship contest, Jason Bates belted a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat LA Pierce, 5-4, and send the team to the state tournament in Sacramento. Cypress won all three state tourney games by one run. The Chargers beat host Sacramento 4-3 in the opener and topped Chabot by the same score in the semifinals. In the title game, Cypress’ Troy Babbitt hit a walk-off homer in the last of the 11th to beat Sacramento 8-7. The Panthers entered the state competition with just one loss in 52 games. Cypress coach Scott Pickler stated, “We were very focused at the end of the season. We had a lot of big-game players. The bigger the game, the tougher we were.”
