Sunday the Tribe fell 7-4 to the visiting Dodgers

two of three in the non-league tuneup to Tuesday;s
California Collegiate League opener Tuesday night
against the rival San Luis Blues.

starter Nate Smith (USC) went 4 innings giving
up 4 runs on 6 hits. He was relieved by Hancock
left hander Evan Fields who picked up the loss
giving up 2 runs in 3 innings.
For
the Dodgers, they were sparked by homeruns from
Rich Roselli and a towering blast by AC Grable
that cleared Miller Street behind the right field
fence.
Despite
putting up 15 runs in Saturday night's second
game, the Indians were only able to muster 4 runs,
2 coming on a 2-run double by right fielder Kyle
Gerhart.
