Sophomore right-hander Noah Whittaker fired 7 1/3 shutout innings to front Cañada College baseball’s 12-0 victory Friday over City College of San Francisco at Maloney Field. The win caps a three-game sweep for Cañada (5-4 Coast North, 13-15 overall), in which the Colts outscored CCSF 42-6.
Noah Whittaker
Whittaker turned in his finest outing of the year, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out five. He departed with one out and none on in the eighth, with sophomore left-hander Noah Wright recording the final two outs of the inning before sophomore right-hander Ryan Kinoshita pitched through a leadoff walk in the ninth to close it out, ending the game with an around-the-horn double play.
The Cañada lineup exploded for six runs in the second, capped by a three-run double from sophomore Stone Daniel-Savage. Freshman Junior Malan added an RBI double in the fourth; sophomore Justin Gladfelter singled home a run in the fifth; sophomore Caven Croom capped a two-run sixth with a sacrifice fly; and freshman Joseph Prieto tabbed RBI singles in each the seventh and ninth.
The win over CCSF (0-9, 1-27) marks the first of Whittaker’s collegiate career. The sophomore entered play 0-4 with a save through his first 12 appearances this season. As a freshman in 2025, he was 0-3 through 11 relief appearances.
Prieto paced the Colts in the series, going 8 for 13 with a double and five RBIs while catching all three games. Daniel-Savage was 7 for 13 with a double, a home run and 10 RBIs, and Gladfelter went 7 for 12 with a triple, four RBIs and eight runs scored.
The sweep keeps the Colts in fourth place in the Coast North Conference, moving them one game back of third-place College of San Mateo (6-3, 18-10) after the Bulldogs were swept by Skyline College. Skyline (7-2, 23-6) is currently tied for first place with Chabot College (7-2, 12-16).
Skyline faces CCSF in a three-game series this week, but two big series are on the horizon starting Tuesday, April 7, when Skyline opens a three-game set against Chabot, and Cañada goes head-to-head with CSM.
