Mammoth 13, Cal City 2

CALIFORNIA CITY — The California City baseball team lost to Mammoth 13-2 in a High Desert League game on Friday at Cal City High.

The Ravens trailed just 6-2 before allowing seven runs on three errors in the seventh inning.

“We’ve actually been playing some pretty good defense,” Cal City coach Shane Moore said. “There were a lot of pluses, defensively in the first six innings we looked pretty good. But the wheels definitely came off in the seventh.”

The Ravens picked up just three hits in the game as Henry Ramsey led the team with a 2-for-3 performance including a triple and an RBI.

Catcher Jeremiah Baker had the other hit for Cal City.

“He did a good job behind the plate,” Moore said. “He’s never really consistently caught before and just because of where we’re at, he’s having to do it consistently and he’s doing a really good job.”

The Ravens struck out 17 times at the plate.

“He was a good looking pitcher,” Moore said of Mammoth’s pitcher. “He threw hard. We just haven’t seen that kind of velocity.”

Blake Moore pitched six innings for the Ravens, allowing six runs — three earned — on seven hits and four walks with eight strikeouts.

“Mammoth was a really good hitting team,” Shane Moore said. “I have to give them credit.”

Cal City continues league play at firstplace Bishop on Tuesday.
