RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - The Cordova Lancers (3-3) hosted the Florin Panthers (1-5) last week, jumping out to an early lead and never looking back.

The Lancers scored three runs in the first inning and followed that with runs in every inning except for the fourth, shutting out the Panthers 10-0 in six innings.

Manix Benjamin, Nick Ravareau, Gavin Sullivan and Jeremy Buck all had multiple hit games for Cordova, who finished with 10 total. They also stole seven bases on the day.

For the Panthers, their offense was shut down by Lancers sophomore pitcher Dylan Murphy. Murphy gave up just three hits over six innings pitched, striking out six along the way.

The Lancers have now won three of their last four games, scoring a combined 40 runs in those three victories. They sit in third place of the Sierra Valley Conference standings behind El Dorado (5-1) and Liberty Ranch (2-2), but league play has just gotten under way this week and those standings are likely to change quickly with a full slate of games lined up.

Cordova will be busy this week as they will play five games in six days before the start of the 48^th Annual Cordova Easter Tournament next week. The Lancers host the Franklin Yellowjackets this Saturday, March 24 with an 11am scheduled first pitch.
