Kylin Turnbull tossed his fourth complete game on Tuesday and SBCC overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat Oxnard 6-3 and claim the WSC North baseball title.
Turnbull (5-2) is fourth in the state with 82 strikeouts.
Colt McLaughlin had two hits and Robert Vickers and Joey Epperson each stole three bases for the Vaqueros (21-14, 14-5), who are ranked No. 9 in Southern Cal.
Shay Maltese delivered a two-out RBI double in the fifth and Andrew Smith followed with a run-scoring single.
Vickers stole home in the sixth to tie the score at 3-3 and Epperson came around from second and scored on the same play to make it 4-3. In the eighth inning, Vickers walked and went to second on a passed ball. As he was stealing third, the ball went to the backstop and the former Dos Pueblos High star kept going to score from second.
“We did a great job on the bases with two guys scoring from second,” said coach Ryan Thompson. “This was a great team win.”
Pat Cavalier added an RBI single in the ninth.
The Vaqueros complete the regular season on Thursday when they host Oxnard at 2:30 p.m.
