Redlands East Valley 2, Oxnard 1
Redlands East Valley got a scare from Oxnard on Saturday in Ventura County, but the top-seeded Wildcats were resilient and prevailed to advance to Tuesday's semifinals against Palos Verdes.
Starter Taylor Chatwood was on top of his game, giving up five hits in five innings of work for Redlands East Valley (25-3). Jeremy Perez came on in relief in the sixth inning with the score tied. The Wildcats scored in the bottom of the sixth and Perez earned his fourth victory of the season.
"Their pitching was pretty tough,'' Oxnard Coach Alfred Tarazon said. "We had some opportunities but couldn't make the most of them. In a game like this, against a good team like that, there's no room for error. They were the better team today.''
Ace Mikel Beltran kept the Yellowjackets (21-6) close throughout, giving up three hits through five innings of work. However, the sophomore didn't receive much, if any, help from teammates Kevin Newberg, Blake Adame and Derek Shutt, each of whom entered the game hitting more than .400.
