Four games in six days.

During that time span, the Cordova High School baseball team split half of those games into wins. Most important is that the wins were in Sierra Valley Conference action.

The latest conference win came on Monday at El Dorado High, where Cordova (2-1 in the SVC, 3-5) posted a 6-4 win over the host Cougars. That game had the Lancers’ bat come alive with 11 hits. Leading the way was Jeremy Buck, who went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

Following Buck in hitting were Austin Smith, Logan Appino and Trevor Ready, all of whom had two hits each. Appino also had a stolen base. Nick Ravareau and Spencer Gudgel had a base hit each. Ready and Gudgel also had two RBIs each.

On the mound, Smith went the distance for the Lancers. He allowed only four hits, and struck out five Cougar batters.

Sheldon 14, Cordova 4

In a non-league game at the Huskies’ field on March 18th, the game was tied 1-1 after the first inning. Then in the bottom of the second frame, Sheldon scored four times for a 5-1 lead.

The Huskies expanded their lead to 7-1 in the third, and scored at least one run through the sixth inning. The game was called at that time due to the 10-run mercy rule. Sheldon finished the contest with 13 hits.

Cordova had seven hits. Buck and Appino had two hits each. Ready, Smith and Zack Guererro had a hit each. Guererro’s lone hit was a double.

Union Mine 13, Cordova 3

In an SVC game in El Dorado on St. Patrick’s last Friday, the visiting Lancers had eight hits.

Appino had the big bat again for Cordova, going 3-for-3. Ravareau and Guererro had two hits each, and Jordan Meyers had one.

Cordova 10, Rosemont 9

In the SVC home opener on March 15th, Appino was perfect at the plate, going 4-for-4 that included a triple and an RBI.

Part of the Lancers’ hitting parade against the Wolverines was Tipton, Ready, Ravareau, Smith and Buck, all of whom had a hit each.

Appino and Smith split time on the hill. Appino allowed only two hits, and struck out three Rosemont batters. Smith fanned four and walked two.

On Wednesday, weather and field conditions pending, Cordova was scheduled to play an SVC road game at Galt.

Today, Friday, Cordova will host Liberty Ranch in an SVC game. Next Monday, the Lancers play a non-conference game at Franklin of Stockton. Next Wednesday, Cordova is back in SVC action at Rosemont. Game times for all three are scheduled for 4 p.m.
