Rio Hondo College rallied for four runs in the top of the fifth inning but it wasn't enough to stifle Chaffey College in a 12-4, five-inning loss on Tuesday in Rancho Cucamonga. The South Coast Conference defeat dropped the Roadrunners to 5-28-1 overall and 0-7 in the SCC.
Trailing 10-0, Janae Moreno finally got Rio Hondo on the board with a two-run double in the fifth that scored Desiree Rhodes and Maria Enriquez. Sarah Hauffen-Salgado followed with a single that drove in Moreno and Jessica Salazar that momentarily put the eight-run mercy rule on hold.
But Chaffey put up two runs in the bottom of the fifth for the walk-off win.
The Roadrunners totaled five hits in the contest, led by two from Hauffen-Salgado. Rhodes and Salazar also had singles in addition to Moreno's double.Taylor Alcala took the loss after allowing six runs and nine hits over 2 ⅓ innings.
Rio Hondo will look to snap a two-game losing skid on Thursday (April 12) when it hosts Pasadena City College in a 3 p.m. SCC contest.
