The Pomona-Pitzer baseball team is on a roll. The Sagehens took two from Whittier 16-5 and 10-5 on Saturday to improve to whopping 28-3 on the season. They are also 13-0 in conference play.They are ranked third in the country and it is easy to see why.

Pitzer made it all the way to the Division III West Region Tournament in 2007 when the core players were sophomores. Now they’re seniors – two years older, two years wiser and physically more mature.

This team is better than that team. The bottom of its lineup is far better offensively and they have more pitching depth as well. Now the Sagehens just have to staty healthy.

The battle for the SCIAC title has come down to the last game of the season the last two years but that probably won’t be the case this year with Sagehens making mincemeat of the opposition – no matter who it is.

It is also nice to see a school do well that puts so much emphasis on academics. There are no special exceptions when it comes to getting athletes admitted into the school. So you can be sure those players are more than just good athletes.
