Bakersfield College Baseball  (17-10, 8-4) beat West Los Angeles College (10-16, 4-8) 2-0 in a rain-shorted game Saturday evening at Gerry Collis Field.

 
"The sky just opened up over the field before the bottom of the fifth, and the visitors had come to bat five times, so that's a ballgame," Coach Tim Painton said.
 
Austin Toerner (4-1) won his second consecutive start by holding West LA scoreless for five innings, giving up only two hits and three walks.
 
Harrison Smith tripled and scored in the very next at bat when WLA starter Madden Laing (0-2) balked while facing Brock Hallum, who ended up reaching base and scoring on an error later in the inning.
 
Bakersfield is two games out of first place (3^rd in Western State Conference South) and  has won seven of their last ten gams.
 
BC will head to Santa Clarita on April 12^th to take on first-place College of the Canyons (23-4, 10-2) at 2:30p.
