When the offense is lacking, a good team always manages to find great defense to pick up the slack.

The Oxnard College Condors baseball team used strong pitching from Brian Wilson to remain undefeated in conference  squeezing out a 3-0 victory over Cuesta College Saturday afternoon at Oxnard.

The Condors struggled offensively, but when you have a pitcher that pitches a complete game shutout, it is tough to lose.

The Condors (21-9, 11-3 WSC) broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth inning on an RBI-single from pitcher Bryan Wilson to give the Condors a 1-0 lead. Wilson not only helped the Condors defensively, but offensively as well to get the Condors on the board.

According to Condors head coach Jon Larson, players like Wilson are hard to find.

“They don’t come along too often, guys like him [Wilson],” Larson said. “It takes a pretty special player.”

Mahan, who scored on Wilson’s RBI single, went on to say Wilson was the difference maker in the outcome.

“Bryan [Wilson] won that game for us,” Mahan said. “He was pitching really [well].”

Wilson received two more insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh and the bottom of the eighth to give him more than enough cushion to close out the game.

Wilson held the Cougars (15-15, 7-7) to five hits on nine innings of work, and did not walk one batter.

According to Wilson, he is simply doing what he needs to do to put his team in a position to get the victory.

“I’m giving us a chance [and] an opportunity to win,” Wilson said. “It’s hard to play here [home]I think, and we have played well here.”

The Condors sit atop the WSC standings, and control their own destiny with six games left in the regular season.

Wilson believes the Condors need to continue to play hard and play consistent if they want to win the conference.

“[We] just have to compete every game, every pitch,” he said. “[And] give everything we got and play to win.”
