The baseball and softball teams both saw their seasons end last weekend in their respective Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournaments.
Despite being swept by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday at Campus West, the softball team still secured the third seed in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournament for the first time since 2022.
The Leopards defeated the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens, 2-1, on April 24 at Campus West for a late season conference clash. The team then lost the opener of Saturday’s doubleheader in Claremont, 10-2, but took the deciding game, 9-5.
