After losing seven of its starters, the baseball team has a harvest of young, inexperienced players rebuilding a team that wants to be in the hunt for the Southern California Inter-Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) championship.
In its final bid for the playoffs, the University of La Verne’s baseball team took third place in the Leo Invitational last weekend, defeating the University of Redlands 11-7 on Sunday afternoon and Chapman University on Saturday night, 4-2.
Winning three games in a row against the same team is not easy, but the University La Verne's baseball team made it seem so last weekend against the Whittier Poets.
Fighting for a playoff berth, the University of La Verne Leopards and the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags knew they were going to have a battle on their hands before entering the showdown series of the season. The Stags sat comfortably in the driver’s seat going into Saturday’s doubleheader after picking up an 8-6 win over the Leopards on Friday.
