COLLEGE ROUNDUP : Ventura Rolls Lucky 13 in 24-11 Win

Thirteen was a lucky number for the Ventura College baseball team Saturday. A record-setting number. A game-winning number.

Ventura trailed Antelope Valley by a run entering the top of the seventh inning, then scored a record 13 runs en route to a 24-11 nonconference victory at Antelope Valley.

Carlos Rios, Ross Gotwals, Kasha Clemons and Darrall McMillin each had two hits in the inning to key the attack for Ventura (12-2). The Pirates had 10 hits and were helped by three errors in the rally.

The 13-run inning broke the school record of 12 but the overall outburst fell short of Ventura’s single-game record of 32 runs, set in 1984 against Compton.

Anthony Romero was four for six and McMillin had three hits and drove in five runs for Ventura. Antelope Valley is 2-9.
