Stealing home

| | Comments (0) |

Rigo Ramirez, the catcher for Cleveland of Reseda's baseball team, stole home in Wednesday's 9-2 West Valley League win over Birmingham of Lake Balboa.
It was on a busted squeeze play in the fifth inning. Nick Kaid tried to lay down a bunt on the first pitch, but it was inside and got away from the Birmingham catcher.
"I was thinking I was gone, but I saw the ball get away and I started running harder," Ramirez said.
He also said it was probably the first time since little league that he's stole home.
He added a stolen base in the second inning. Birmingham pitcher Edgar Olmos picked Ramirez off first, but Ramirez broke for second and beat the throw from the first baseman.
So when was the last time the speedy catcher had two stolen bases in a game?
He didn't remember the exact game, but it happened once last year.
