Ceres High's varsity baseball team dropped to 8-12 on the year and remained winless in Western Athletic Conference play this past week after getting swept by Livingston.

The last-place Bulldogs fell to 0-6 in the WAC.

The second-place Wolves improved to 11-10 overall and 5-1 in the conference standings.

"We've been in almost every game we've played in league," Ceres High head coach Clinton Goblirsch said. "We have to find a way to finish. We got to play a full seven innings."

Ceres High lost 11-7 to visiting Livingston on Thursday at Art McRae Field.

The Wolves erased a three-run deficit by scoring seven runs in the top of the seventh inning.

"We couldn't close it out in the last inning," Goblirsch said.

Bulldog starting pitcher Caleb Cannella earned a no-decision.

Cannella surrendered three runs and five hits with six strikeouts and four walks over five innings.

"He threw well," Goblirsch said. "He worked his fastball and curveball. He did a good job keeping their guys off-balance."

Cesar Alvarez batted 1-for-2 with one run.

Michael Aveytia led the way on offense, finishing 2-for-4 with one homer, four RBIs and one run.

Josh Pernetti finished 1-for-3 with one double, two RBIs and two runs.

Ceres High was forced to rally thanks in large part to its defense.

The Bulldogs committed five errors during the game.

"We gave ourselves a chance to win," Goblirsch said. "We had the tying run on second base and winning run on first base when the game ended. We battled until the last out."
