With a chance to take home the Western State Conference Southern Division title, the Vaqueros faced the West Los Angeles Wildcats at Stengel Field on Friday, in the last game of the regular season. The Vaqs were off to a great start with a 4-0 lead at the top of the second inning, but West L.A. managed to stay in the game by scoring two runs and adding two more in the next inning to tie the score. It was all Vaqueros after that, as the home team stepped up to the plate to score at least one run in six of eight innings, defeating the Wildcats with a score of 11-5. The Vaqueros claimed the conference title for the second season in a row and for the fifth time in the last six years. First baseman Liam Shibata was one of the three Vaqueros to have multiple RBIs in the game, ending up with two, after hitting singles in the first and fourth innings. “It feels great, we’ve worked all year and to make it to the ending feels good” said Shibata. Head Coach Chris Cicuto was ejected during Thursday’s game at West L.A. for arguing with the umpire and had to sit out the entire game. Ivan “Woody” Lopez stepped in and took over the reins. When the game was over the team dog-piled in the middle of the field and, shortly after, Coach Cicuto came down to the field to join in on the celebration. As in big league tradition, the team poured a bucket of ice water over the coach. “I had to watch the game from the bridge” said Cicuto after the win was a fact, “I had to sit out today and we’ll see if I have to do it in one more game.” The entire team gathered in front of the stands and applauded the audience as a thank you for coming and supporting them during the season, and in hopes of them coming out during the playoff games. The Vaqs finish the season with a 17-4 record in conference and 28-8 overall. The Vaqueros are assured to play their first series at home on Stengel Field Friday at 2 p.m. with a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m. first round of regional playoff series. Glendale has won the division two years in a row and five times in the last six years. The first playoff game will be played Friday at 2 p.m. with a double header scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., if necessary.
