Baseball: Long Beach bats go silent at Cerritos, fall 4-0

The Long Beach City College baseball team suffered a 4-0 loss at Cerritos College on Tuesday in the opening game of a three-game South Coast Conference series.

LBCC (14-15, 9-7 SCC) managed just three hits in the contest off Cerritos' Kevin Hendrix and Nick Quezada.

Sophomore third baseman Andy Hernandez' (Paramount HS) two-out double in the top of the seventh broke up the Falcons' bid at a no hitter.

The two teams continue the series on Thursday (Apr 14) at 2:30 p.m. when it shifts to LBCC's Joe Hicks Memorial Field.

The series finale is set for Saturday (Apr 16) at noon back at Cerritos College.
