Going into last Saturday's game against La Verne, the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens were rated the worst team in the country by the Los Angeles Times. That's right, the absolute worst. On the top of Steve Harvey's "Bottom Ten" list. In fact, the Leo-Sagehen match up was tabbed as "the crummiest game of the week," by the Times.
Second place for many athletic teams is an honor, maybe even a tribute. For the University of La Verne soccer team, second place takes on a different connotation.
Why must others suffer from one person's mistake? The answer to that question, if there is one, may hardly seem justifiable. But there is one thing for sure: it has left the University of La Verne baseball team pondering over it.
