STOCKTON — Allowing six consecutive walks can abruptly end a baseball team’s blossoming rally.
No. 1 Delta College endured that Saturday afternoon, surrendering a six-run fifth inning before losing 10-6 to No. 4 Ohlone in Game 2 of their CCCAA Super Regional series at Cecchetti Field.
A decisive Game 3 is at noon today. The winner heads to the state’s Final Four next weekend in Fresno.
On Saturday, Mustang pitchers walked six consecutive batters, all with two outs, leading to five runs via walks.
Delta had retired two of the first three batters of the inning before allowing a single to Renegades cleanup hitter Michael Gallagher.
