Rio Hondo Set for 3pm

Rio Hondo College Baseball Coach Mike Salazar checked in a few minutes ago to confirm that Tuesday's California Community College playoff play-in game against Ventura College is on campus at 3 p.m.

While Rio Hondo (25-17) did not face Ventura (27-13) this season, the Roadrunners were 0-4 against teams from the Western State North Conference, including loses to lesser opponents Santa Barbara (23-20) and Allan Hancock (18-26) during the first six games of the season.

Yet, Salazar is convinced his team has grown dramatically since the early non-conference schedule.

"We were a completely different team then than we are now," Salazar said.

Rio Hondo did open last year's postseason with a play-in win over area rival East Los Angeles College.

Good Luck Roadrunners.
