Baseball loses four in a row By NATHANIEL LASTRAPES Staff Writer

It was a rough weekend for Coyote baseball. The team lost four-straight games in their back-to-back double-headers against the Cal State Monterey Bay Otters, extend- ing their losing streak to seven games. Cal State Monterey Bay currently holds the best record in the conference and after sweeping the Coyotes in their series this weekend, have extended their hot winning streak to 10 games. It has been a long season thus far for the Coyotes, who are 3-14, but right-handed pitcher Dylan Mitchell is confi dent the team can turn the season around. “Playoffs are defi nitely still in reach. It’s still very early in the season, so there’s still that possibility,” said Mitchell. The Coyotes have been struggling this season with their last win coming back on Feb. 19 versus the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos. Friday’s double-header was a long afternoon for the Coyotes, losing their fi rst game 2-13, followed by a 5-10 loss in the second game. Right-handed pitcher Tyler Wells suffered the fi rst loss, and junior Tyler Sloan was credited with the loss for the following game. Saturday afternoon was no different for the Coyotes as they lost both games in the double-header against the Otters. The fi nal two games of the back-to-back double-headers proved to be more com- petitive, as the Coyotes fell 2-7, and then lost a nail-biter 7-8. Senior Tyler Rahier and junior Daniel Diaz received the two losses on Saturday afternoon, but it is not just pitching that the Coyotes are struggling with. Coyotes have been struggling getting runs on the board early all season. “Our hitting needs to get out of the gate a little bit faster to give us pitcher confi dence, you know, that we can have run support behind us,” said Mitchell. Getting early runs on the board has been a problem for the Coyotes this season and can negatively infl uence the psyche of the pitchers. It is much easier for a pitcher to go on the mound with confi dence when they know that they have a lead to work with. It is easy for a team in any sport to get down on themselves and develop a losing mentality when things are not going well in a season like the Coyotes are currently having. On this current seven-game losing streak, their longest of the season, Mitchell said, “A lot of guys are doubting themselves.” SSportsports Monday, March 9, 2015

The California Collegiate Athletics Association (CCAA) Conference Tournament is holding their 2015 Division II tour- nament is Stockton California. This tournament will give the qualifying teams a chance to claim the title of Division II champions of California. Although the tournament is in Stockton teams from all over the state will be competing, from the UC San Diego Tri- tons to the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. Both men’s and women’s basketball teams will compete in the tournament. “The CCAA Basketball Tournament is coming back to northern California for just the third time,” said Commissioner of the CCAA Mike Matthews. Many fans as well as families will be going to Stockton to spectate of the tournament, explained Matthews. Matthews also continued to give thanks to the participa- tion of all of the venders who are helping to make the event happen, one in which is Visit Stockton, led by Wes Rhea their CEO. “Visit Stockton is proud to partner with CCAA to bring these four championship events to Stockton. We have a long history hosting successful collegiate events and we look for- ward to welcoming the athletes and families to our city,” ex- pressed Rhea. Despite the last two consecutive years the CCAA tourna- ment was held in Ontario, California at the Citizen’s Banks Arena, the committee made the choice move to bring the event to Stockton. The fi rst round of games will happen on March 5, while the semi-fi nals will be held on March 6, and the fi nals on March 7. Each team has presented themselves to be worthy of com- peting in this tournament but only the best will be able to win the title as CCAA Champions.
