Heartbroken. This is exactly how the Oxnard College Condors baseball team and its fan felt after a frustrating loss in a do-or-die playoff game.

The Condors let a 10-6 lead slipped away in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing the Comets to score five runs,  including a walk-off two run double to win the game 11-10, sealing the end of the Condors’ season.

According to Condors head coach Jon Larson, blowing a five-run lead in the ninth inning in a game you need to win to keep your season alive is always a hard pill to swallow.

“What a brutal loss that was,” said Larson.

According to Larson, the loss was brutal because it was in front of huge crowd of Condor fans that came out to support the team, and help the Condors force a third game.

After the heartbreaking loss, Larson gathered his team around left field to talk to them.

“We told them how proud and that they will always be family here at OC. And that they are a great group of guys.”

After winning their first Western State Conference championship since 2005 and getting the no. 3 seed in the playoffs, it seem like the Condors were going to do big things in the playoffs.

Trailing 1-0 in a best-of-three series, it looked like the Condors were on the way to playing Palomar in a winner-take-all game three; however, the Comets had different plans.

The Condors were great offensively throughout the game scoring runs in the first five innings and holding the Comets to six runs through eight innings.

However, the Comets five-run ninth inning rally decimated any chance for the Condors to force the third game, and instead gave the Condors a shocking first-round exit from the playoffs.
