Ohlone baseball hasn't gone through many struggles throughout its 2009 campaign on the diamond. However, going into last week's play, they were in a bit of a rut, losing two (March 7 to Cabrillo; March 10 to Skyline) and winning two (March 12 to Chabot; March 14 to Monterey Peninsula) just after reeling off 11 wins in a row.
On Tuesday, March 17, Ohlone traveled to Hartnell hoping to finish up an unbeaten three-game road trip. The Renegades got ahead early and never looked back. They won, going away, 14-4, to improve their record to 20-5 on the season; 7-2 in the Coast Conference, Pacific Division.
Following the 3-0 road trip, Ohlone returned home to get another swing at Monterey Peninsula on Thursday, March 19, who they had just beaten, 3-2, five days earlier.
Prior to the game, the Renegades had been informed they were the new #1 in the Northern California junior college rankings; #2 in the Pacific Northwest.
Like the game in Monterey, this game was close throughout. Ohlone, however, being the more talented team, top to bottom, found a way to pull out another victory, its fourth consecutive, and solidify its spot as the top team in the region, 7-5.
To conclude the week, San Francisco City College of the Golden Gate division of the Coast Conference traveled to Fremont to take on Ohlone on Saturday, March 21. Roberto Padilla pitched seven innings of two-hit ball to improve his record to 2-3 on the season for the Renegades. Padilla tallied six strikeouts while giving up two walks in the winning effort.
Second baseman Ryan Harmon (4-5, 2 RBI) and shortstop Will Bourgein (2-2, 3 RBI) stood out on offense for the now 22-5 Renegades; 9-2 in Coast Conference play.
