The Dons will face off against the Jackrabbits at 3:00  p.m. Neither of those teams managed to put together many  runs in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">On Monday, Cerritos came up short against St. Anthony  and fell  6-2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> Cerritos saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/cerritos\/cerritos-dons\/athletes\/alex-laurin\/?careerid=6s331ef4a83cc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Alex Laurin<\/a>, who  went 1-for-2 with one  run and one  double.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Katella hit Long Beach Poly with a four-run fifth inning  on Friday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result.

Cerritos has been retiring batters left and right this season,  having  averaged 7.3  strikeouts per game. It&#8217;s a different story for Long Beach Poly, though, as  they&#8217;ve been averaging  only 4  strikeouts.
