Tough outing for Thunderbirds

The Yucaipa baseball team ran up against a juggernaut tonight in the prestigious Anderson Bats National Classic at Cal State Fullerton, losing to Orange Lutheran 16-0, reported a Los Angeles Times blog.

The Thunderbirds had difficulty solving the offerings of hard-throwing pitcher Gerrit Cole, a highly sought prospect. Cole also hit a home run.

Yucaipa (1-1 in the tourney) plays El Dorado at 10 a.m. Wednesday at El Dorado as the tourney continues.
