With runs at a premium, the sun going down, the clouds rolling in, and the temperature plunging, there was no doubt in Zach Small’s mind what he had to do.
After drawing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the 10th inning, Small knew he had to get to third on an errant pickoff throw at first base.“Force them to make some decisions on what to do defensively.”
Small, a sophomore, was the starting pitcher for Oceanside and left the mound after six innings, leading 2-1. With Small on third and no one out in the 10th, Jorge Garcia was hit by a pitch. Escondido coach Aaron Hoofard elected to intentionally walk Jeremiah Goodwin to load the bases and set up a force at home.“I had a bad day in the field, made a couple of errors, so I wanted to do anything I could to get that run home,” Sotelo said.
“I have tons of respect for Escondido,” Barrett said. “This was a great high school baseball game with great pitching on both sides.Small is one of four Oceanside pitchers to throw a no-hitter this season. Plus, he entered the game with 53 strikeouts in 322/3 innings. He fanned six Cougars in six innings and allowed only an unearned run.
