Bakersfield College baseball defeated College of the Sequoias, 4-2, Jan. 27 with pitcher, Lane Cowan, who earned the win, and relief pitcher, Joey Salinas, who is credited with the save. Ashanti Ross’s hit, scored two runs, with a double play in the 9th inning to end the game.

Sage Voda, a BC baseball player, who is sitting out for the season because of a hip injury, said “Ashanti’s hit was huge, and Walker Frayne coming in to pitch and helping Cowan to help seal the win, felt good, especially after last night [referring to their 5-0 loss against Moorpark] … It’s a good feeling to get the feeling of a win.”

Sage Voda said he will return next season after his hip has healed.

Emanuel Garcia, a former quarterback for the Renegades, said, “I thought it was a really good game because the Renegade won 4-2. It showed a lot of character, and for me it’s a good feeling because I saw these kids in high school. I saw Joey Salinas at Arvin and Lane Cowan at Centennial.”

This game was BCs second game for the season, with one loss and one win.
