RIVERSIDE – Pinch hitter Chase Cuckovich walked and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the host Riverside City College (RCC) Tigers men's baseball team edged the Cypress College Chargers, 3-2, Saturday afternoon in a Orange Empire Conference (OEC) at the Evans Sports Complex.
Cuckovich, a sophomore outfielder from Victoria, B.C., Canada / Lambrick Park H.S., walked and was safe at second base on a fielder's choice off the bat of sophomore 2B Brandon Van Horn (La Canada Flintridge / St. Francis HS). Both runners advanced on a sacrifice bunt. With freshman C Michael Deceglie (Rancho Cucamonga / Los Osos HS) at bat, Cuckovich scored on an errant back pick throw to third base by sophomore Cypress C Tyler Schultz (Lakewood HS).
