The College of San Mateo Bulldogs baseball team defeated the De Anza Dons in the second home game of the season Feb. 10.

The Dons showed promise during the first few innings by advancing in homeruns and their notable offense and defense.

They were able to make the first home run of the game by Gilbert Guerra. By the second inning, the score was 1-0.

But after taking offense in the third inning, the Dons scored another home run by Guerra, making the score 2-0.

It wasn’t until the sixth inning that the Bulldogs stepped up their game with their first batter, making the score now 2-1.

The Bulldogs managed to tie the score, but not for long. By the ninth inning, the Bulldogs had tipped the score to favor them.

The final score was 6-2, and the teams shook hands then went their separate ways.

Despite the loss, Dons head coach Scott Hertler complimented his team, saying, “We were better. We were much more offensive this game. We previously lost 2-1 to Monterey and we weren’t as offensive as we were today.”

“This team’s going to be a good team.” Hertler added. I don’t know if its going to be a good team next week or the week after or two weeks down the road but these guys are going to be a good team.”
