Speed Helps Baseball To 6-3 Win

It was a harmless hit, or so it seemed. In the second inning, with runners on second and third and two outs, Pasadena City College baseball team leftfielder Kori Grant hit a short pop that fell about 30 feet from home plate. The speedy Grant beat out the throw to first by Cerro Coso pitcher Roberto Hernandez for an infield single. In the process rightfielder Anthony Martinez crossed the plate from third followed moments later by hustling centerfielder Charles Smith, who scored all the way from second base.

Baseball Pitching, A Brightspot In Dismal Streak

One of the primary concerns going into the 2013 season for the Pasadena City College baseball team was the lack of reliable pitching arms for the Lancers.

The game was played at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.

Position Depth Gives PCC Baseball Reason To Look Up In 2013

The Pasadena City College baseball team has a dilemma as the 2013 season began this weekend, but unlike recent seasons, it's the type of situation the coaching staff can look as a positive.
