The Falcons took on the College of the Desert Roadrunners and won easily 7-0 on May 3. Cerritos shutout the Roadrunners allowing them to not score at all in the game as College of the Desert played sloppy with four errors. Falcons starting pitcher, Derek Valdez put on a show throwing a shutout and finishing a complete game. Valdez went all nine innings, gave up no runs, nine hits and struck out nine Roadrunner players.

A sunny Wednesday afternoon was the backdrop for the Falcons 5-3 win over LA Mission on March 27, completing their two-game sweep. Starting on the bump for the Falcons was Franky Lopez who came into the start hot with a 6-0 record on the season. Control seemed to be an issue for LA Mission pitcher Manny Najar early as two batters were hit in the first, but the Falcons couldn’t capitalize leaving both runners on base.

The unprecedented form of mass migration of Central Americans has defeated typical government responses to prevent poor people and refugees from migrating to the United States. As we have seen in the last few days, it has also inflamed the U.S. government’s violent treatment of migrants. I want to analyze the form that this migration has taken because, at its core, it is an anti-imperial call to all humans spectating. It is a call that our governments do not want us to understand.
