American River College started out hot on Saturday, taking a 8-0 lead into the 5^th inning.  Mission got an unearned run in the 5^th, then exploded for 9 runs in the 6^th inning, followed by 4 runs in the 7^th to go up 14-9.  The Beavers did not flinch, however and got right back on the board scoring 6 times in the top of the 8^th to re-take the lead.  CF Cade Parker (Yreka) led off the 8^th with a walk, followed by LF Justin Hanlin (Whitney) who was hit by a pitch.   3B Edgar Gallardo (Riverside Poly) then hit a chopper in the hole that Mission's SS threw into right field for an error, scoring a run and putting runners at 2^nd & 3^rd.  C Joaquin Sequeira (Antelope) then grounded out to short to add a run and bring the score to 14-11.  RF Blake Spencer (Rio Americano) then added a single to right, one of his 4 hits on the day to score another run and cut the lead to two.  After a groundout by 2B Matt Clarke (Bella Vista), 1B Tyler Swank (Del Campo) came up and launched a deep fly ball to right center which landed at the base of the fence.  Two runs scored tying the game, then Swank ran through a stop sign at third base and there was a collision at the plate but he was ruled safe for an inside-the-park home run to give the Beavers the lead.  LHP Andrew Fuentes (Pioneer) had come on in relief and threw a clean 8^th inning.  The Beavers then added three more runs in the top of the 9^th to add some insurance runs.  Fuentes did not need the extra cushion though as he shut the Saints down in order in the 9^th to give the 9^th ranked Beavers the road victory.

Early in the game Alex Dodd (River City) hit his team leading 2^nd home run of the season, which was followed up by a mammoth shot over the left field fence by Justin Hanlin, his first of the season. 

The Beavers travel to Fairfield to face the 12^th ranked Solano College Falcons on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.
