Falcons’ pitcher Erick Morales summed it up when he said, “Nobody can stop us.”

The Cerritos College baseball team finished the regular season with its ninth consecutive win, using a seven-run seventh inning to beat up on East Los Angeles College, 15-6 Friday at Kincaid Field.

The Falcons finish in second place in the South Coast Confer-ence at 19-5, 25-14 overall, and will play Glendale in their first round game Friday at 11 a.m. at Riverside City College.

Cerritos scored four runs in the first inning, with Kalen Norton, Bryan Baker and Andrew Gutierez each driving in a run, and Jesse Lugo stealing home.

Norton singled home Ammirato in the bottom of the second inning to make the score 5-0.

The Huskies (20-22, 11-13 in SCC) scored two runs in the third inning, then used five singles to tie the game in the fifth inning.

Leading by one run, Cerritos broke the game open in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Baker hit a double into the gap in right-center field, scoring Lugo.

T.J. Bruce then singled in Baker and Brett Cayton, and then Carl Johnson drove Gutierez home with a single.

Bruce scored on a wild pitch, Dominick Phillips drove in Johnson, then Lugo tripled to left center to score Phillips, and the Falcons had a 13-5 lead.

Cerritos added two runs in the eighth inning, and the Huskies scored a run in the ninth for the final score.

Morales said, “I feel very strong about our chances in the playoffs.

“I really don’t see anything that we have to improve on for the playoffs.”

Falcon Coach Ken Gaylord said, “I like way the team is scoring runs. Our defense is pretty good.

“We need to just stay positive in order to do great in the playoffs.”

Thursday, the Falcons belted out 15 hits to win, 12-5 at East L.A.

Morales improved his record to 8-3 by allowing only one earned run in eight innings.
