The Chargers had been off due to rain for 11 days and were anxious to face some live pitching. In the first, Matt Chapman led off with a double and Gavin Collins brought him in with his second home run on the year. The second inning brought 2 more runs off a Tim Alhanati double and a single by Nick Villar. That's all the runs the Chargers would need on the day as El Toro pitching took care of the rest.
In an effort to give multiple guys work, El Toro used 6 different pitchers and limited Western to 2 hits, striking out 6 and only walking 1. Some nice defensive plays in the field by Chapman kept the Pioneers off the bases when they did put balls in play.
With the win, El Toro moves to 5-3 on the year and, weather permitting, finally get into league play next week. Monday is a 3:15pm home game against Capo Valley, followed by an away game at Dana Hills Wednesday and back home Friday against San Clemente.
Go Chargers!
