Etiwanda Intermediate School:
The Vineyard PIRATES won their 22nd consecutive game Thursday night @ EIS and earned the right to play for the City Champiosnhip Monday night against the Alta Loma Dodgers.
After Jonathan Olsen shut the Rancho Dodgers down in the 1st inning, Niko Navarro led off the bottom of the 1st by hitting the opposing pitchers 1st pitch over the right center field fence for a quick 1 - 0 lead. It was Niko's 6th HOME RUN on the season. The Pirates went on to take a 3 - 0 lead after one after Jonathan Olsen singled, Ayden Cuan singled and Ray Findley had an RBI single down the right field line.
Jonathan Olsen pitched four strong innings before being taken out to ensure his availability for Monday night's Championship Game. Jonathan struck out 8, walked one and allowed the only Dodger hit on the night (an infield single). Niko Navarro finished up the final two innings by striking out 6, walking four and allowing two unearned runs as the Pirates defense faltered a bit in the late innings.
Offensively, Niko was 3 for 3 on the night. Jonathan Olsen, Ray Findley & Ayden Cuan all had hits in the game. Ayden also walked and Ray Findley, Shane Holt and David Ruize all got on when hit-by-a-pitch. Brenden Gallardo and Ayden Cuan also reached base on errors.

With an 11-0 lead, Joey Pekarcik came in to close the game for the Pirates. Joey threw strikes but the White Sox were able to scramble for four runs.

Jonathan's 15 strike-out, 86 pitch performance put the Pirates into the semi-final game of the Vineyard Little League double-elimination tournament.

Brian Fox got hit by a pitch and then two runs came in on a passed ball and a forced in run on a walk. The Pirates had a 3-0 lead. The Dodger starter was taken out and the reliever was welcomed by Niko Navarro putting the nail in the coffin by hitting a 3 run HOME RUN (#4 on the season) to ice the Pirates victory.
The Pirates played solid defense, got solid pitching and clutch hitting to earn their 19th consecutive win!!!

5/12/09:
The Pirates defense looked sloppy Tuesday night as they committed 9 errors in the game. Fortunately, their bats were on fire as they collected 11 hits on the night and racked up 20 runs on the Dodgers pitching. After jumping out to a 11 - 0 first inning lead, the Pirates D handed the Dodgers 5 runs in the 1st, 2 runs in the 2nd & 2 more in the 3rd to cut the lead to 11 - 9. The Pirates added a few insurance runs in the top of the 4th inning to take a 14 - 9 lead when Ray Findley tripled home 3 runs after the Dodger's had intentionally walked JO to get to Ray (way to respond Mr. Findley!!!). Niko Navarro breezed through the heart of the Dodgers order in the bottom of the 4th to maintain the 5 run lead before the Pirates opened the game up for good with 6 runs in the top of the 5th and a big 20 - 9 lead. Ray Findley shut the door in the bottom of the 5th by striking out the final Dodger batter with a "dirty" (as Diego Cuan described it) knuckleball.
Offensively, Shane Holt hit his 1st HOME RUN of the season. Niko Navarro & Jonathan Olsen had two hits each. Ray Findley, Ayden Cuan, Jarrett Perry, all had hits before our 10-11-12 hitters (Brian Fox, Joey Pekarcik & David Ruize) closed the night with back to back to back RBI doubles.
FINAL SCORE:
PIRATES 20 -Dodgers 9
Way to go PIRATES!!!

The Pirates got off to a bumpy start in the first inning Saturday afternoon & were in unfamiliar terrirtory trailing 3-1 after one. However, they responded with 8 runs in the 2nd inning to take a 9 - 3 lead and never looked back. Jonathan Olsen pitched two innings while strking out 4 and giving up 3 runs. Jarrett Perry pitched innings 3 & 4 and gave up two runs (one unearned). Shane Holt pitched 2/3 of an inning but was relieved after some minor control problems to load the bases. Niko Navarro came in and after walking the first batter he faced, he closed the door by striking out 3.
Niko Navarro, Jonathan Olsen & Ayden Cuan all had three hits in the game for the Pirates. Ray Findley, Shane Holt & Jarrett Perry had two hits each in the game. Brenden Gallardo, Diego Cuan & Joey Pekarcik chipped in with one hit each. Brian Fox & David Ruize reached base by walking in the game.
FINAL SCORE:
PIRATES 14 - Cardinals 6
Great job PIRATES!!!
