Baseball Stung By El Camino Epic Rally

Adversity truly hit the Pasadena City College baseball team on Thursday. The Lancers, ranked #7 in the state, let a seemingly insurmountable 9-run lead slip away as visiting El Camino rallied for an amazing 10 runs in the top of the ninth.

Baseball Now In 2nd Place By Itself In SCC

The Pasadena City College baseball team is going by the adage it's not how you start, but how you finish. That's been the case for the Lancers, who won their third straight South Coast Conference 3-game series where they lost the opener only to win the next two games in each of their series v. Mt. San Antonio, Los Angeles Harbor and now Long Beach City College.

Guardado Save, A Family Gift For PCC Baseball

His father was a 2-time, MLB All-Star closer for the Minnesota Twins, but on Saturday it was son Jakob Guardado's turn to be closer for the Pasadena City College baseball team. Guardado completed a performance that certainly would make Eddie Guardado proud as his freshman son stranded the tying run on second base by striking out the last two batters in a 4-3 Lancers win at Mt. San Antonio College.

Staff It Under Win For Lancers Baseball

Ask Pasadena City College baseball head coach Pat McGee who will be on the mound early in the 2022 season and the response will likely be a one word answer--"staff." Staff meaning if you have pitcher listed as your position on the roster, there's a good chance you could be throwing next. On Thursday, the staff did its job admirably as four Lancers hurlers combined for a 2-hit shutout in a 6-0 win over Pierce.
