Pittsburg wins 10th straight baseball game, 7-6

MORAGA — Pittsburg High School baseball team continued its winning streak with a close victory over Campolindo on Tuesday, winning 7-6. This win marked their tenth straight triumph, making it the longest win streak since 2004. The game was filled with excitement and intensity, resembling a championship match. Pittsburg coach Marco Cartagena noted the significance of the game for the team's progress. Senior JD Wilson made a crucial play in the seventh inning, throwing out a runner at home plate to secure the win. JJ Robinson led the Pirates as both a hitter and a relief pitcher. He had three hits, two RBIs, and struck out five batters, allowing no runs. Robinson recognized the pressure they face as a top team, saying, “Everyone wants to beat us.” The match featured some back-and-forth scoring. Pittsburg took an early lead, but Campolindo bounced back to lead 6-4 after a strong fourth inning. However, Pittsburg rallied to regain the lead with key plays, showcasing their resilience. In the final inning, Robinson walked three batters, loading the bases for Campolindo. Wilson's impressive throw ended the game and highlighted his role after being added to the lineup due to an earlier ejection. Despite the loss, Campolindo coach Julian Fiammengo praised his team's effort but acknowledged mistakes that cost them the game. They will face another challenge against Northgate on Thursday. Pittsburg prepares for their next game against American Canyon, followed by a highly anticipated match against Granada, the defending NorCal champions. Robinson expressed a desire for redemption, as last year's game against Granada ended in a last-minute loss.
