(Suffern, NY) - Freshman CJ Spence (Mount Vernon, NY/Mount Vernon HS) hit his first career home run, and sophomore Sean Vanegas (Bronx, NY/Mount St. Michael) continued his recent tear at the plate, but the Westchester Community College baseball team lost its fourth straight game, 11-1 to Rockland Community College on Sunday at Rockland. With the loss, Westchester is now 13-8 overall, and 0-4 in Mid-Hudson Conference and Region XV play.

Rockland scored at least one run in every inning but the fourth inning on Sunday, while also limiting the Vikings to four hits and three walks. Vanegas had one of those hits, and is now hitting .500 during his last 10 games to raise his season batting average to .343 after a slow start to the 2019 campaign. He continues to lead WCC in RBI's (25) and stolen bases (12).

For Spence, who is off to a strong start during his rookie campaign, the weekend series with Rockland saw him hit for power as he drilled a home run for the first time in the sixth inning after nearly hitting one during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Freshman Hector Camacho (Harrison, NY/Harrison HS) allowed four earned runs over three innings of work, and sophomore Luis Gomez (Bronx, NY/St. Raymond's) and freshman Jake Jempty (Cortlandt Manor, NY/Walter Panas HS) were solid in relief, but the effort was not enough as Rockland swept the season series from the Vikings.

Westchester Community College is back in action on Thursday, April 11 when the Vikings host Orange Community College at 3:30 p.m. for a single game as they seek their first Mid-Hudson Conference/Region XV win of the 2019 season. Should any weather-related schedule changes take place, the changes will be announced at GoWCCVikings.com and on all Westchester CC Athletics social media vehicles.
