Baseball: Pirates’ woes continue, 15-7

Tony Altobelli

CYPRESS - The road has not suited the Orange Coast College baseball

team very well in Orange Empire Conference action.

Strapped with an unusual five-game stretch away from Wendell Pickens

Field, the Pirates lost their third straight OEC road game, 15-7, to host

Cypress.

The loss is the fifth in a row for OCC (5-11, 0-5 in conference) as the

team’s earned run average continues to soar.

Eric Wiethorn went 2 for 5 including his third home run of the season and

had two RBIs, while Chris Laws went 2 for 4 with two RBIs.

The Pirates travel to Huntington Beach to take on Golden West Saturday at

noon.
