Nightmare Ninth Dooms Warriors Again

There’s a thing in baseball called “the Schneid.” Right now Westcliff is planted right on top of it, and unfortunately, things just won’t feel right until they get off it. After two close, but winless, series against top-caliber clubs to open the season, Westcliff hosted Bethesda Saturday for a double-dip at Vanguard’s park in Costa Mesa. Game 1, a 10-3 loss, was a tough pill to swallow, as another nightmare ninth doomed the Warriors for the second game in a row.

Experience, Depth Give Warriors New Life in 2023

2022 was a trying year for the Westcliff baseball team. Beginning with fall ball, and coming off a banner inaugural year that included wins over national champion Chapman, as well as Concordia, it looked as though the Warriors were poised to make noise in their first year of Cal Pac play. But then tragedy struck over Christmas break, when starting pitcher JJ Sanchez — whom many considered the emotional heart and soul of the team — passed away as a result of an automobile accident in Northern California. The loss of Sanchez devastated the team and the coaching staff, and although they played through it as best they could, it was obvious to anyone in and around the program that overcoming the loss would be impossible — the season seemed almost inconsequential. Time has done a lot to heal those wounds.
