The Pirate baseball team opened the 2014 season with a strong showing on their 3-game road trip, winning a pair of games. Sophomore Tyler Watson led the charge, with three hits, all doubles, while walking three times , as well. He scored two runs, helping spark VC in their two victories. His lead-off double in the third inning of Saturday's game began a five-run inning as Ventura defeated No. 1 Cypress, 10-5. Additionally, Tyler pitched five innings against Cypress on Friday, allowing one run and six hits in his first collegiate start. Tyler is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
