Chino Hills drops CHS to first loss

After winning its first 4 games and capturing the Glendora Tournament, the Claremont High School varsity baseball team fell to Chino Hills in the Sierra League opener at Wolfpack Park on Thursday, 5-0.

Claremont mustered 4 hits in the contest but could not put together a rally to get back into the game. The Pack also committed 3 errors.

Yet Claremont's first loss is just one chapter in what will be a 2-month long regular season. CHS coach Steve Jackson still expects the Wolfpack to have a strong season but also pointed out that consistent hitting is to key to his team's success.

“We’re a small ball type of team,” Coach Jackson said. “We’re not going to be hitting a lot of balls out of the park so we need to be able to get on base.”

Check out tomorrow's COURIER for a full recap of Thursday's game. The CHS baseball team will be in action tomorrow at Don Lugo at 11 a.m.
