Huntington Beach, Calif. – After an hour long rain delay with jousting and dance-offs for entertainment, the Golden West College Rustlers (17-9, 6-5) and the Riverside City College Tigers (15-11, 3-8) finally got to pull the tarp off the infield and play ball.
Sophomore pitcher Tyler Tungate (5-1) threw his second complete game win in a row giving up 4 hits, 1 unearned run, walking none, and striking out 7 Tigers.
The Rustler offense got going in the 2nd inning with a John Shattles (1 for 3, 1 run scored, 1 RBI) RBI double that scored Daniel Maguire (1 for 4, 1 run scored.) Tyler Depreta (1 for 4, 1 run scored, 1 RBI) followed next with an RBI single that scored Shattles from second base.
