Del Oro's Rowland hurls 3-hit shutout against Folsom

Del Oro High School senior Landon Rowland had his best stuff working on the mound last Friday afternoon, as he pitched a shutout at Folsom in the Golden Eagles' 5-0 victory. It was the first of a Sierra Foothill League doubleheader, with the Bulldogs winning game two 8-0. Rowland was efficient in his command, surrendering just three hits to the Bulldogs and getting the job done in 62 pitches, just under nine per inning. Rowland didn't walk any batters. Rowland induced nine ground balls, three of which the defense turned for double plays. Del Oro also recorded six flyouts or lineouts, and Rowland struck out three. Seven players recorded a hit for the Golden Eagles, and Mason Belding, Ben Brown, Sam Brown and Jayden Santiago each drove in runs. Rowland is 2-0 with a 1.84 ERA in five appearances this season and has 19 strikeouts and four walks in 19 innings. Del Oro had a break from Sierra Foothill League play this week, as it played in the Lions Tournament in San Diego. The Golden Eagles fell to San Diego-Mira Mesa 3-2 in game one before bouncing back with a 1-0 victory over Santa Fe Springs-St. Paul on Tuesday.
