California’s un- usual season of rainy weather caused the JV’s to miss two weeks of much needed practice so they fell behind in the development of their skills. Still through many hours of extra practice, the team gathered the po- tential to pull off some season-end- ing upsets in Pioneer League play.

Varsity Nine © Shows Balance At press time, varsity baseball was just getting underway. After dropping their first game to Beverly Hills, the Lancers came back the next day against Charminade to win 8-7 on a suicide squeeze. A tough contest against Torrance resulted in a league loss for the locals. Returning lettermen from last year’s championship team were George Sotolongo, Oscar Amaro and Miguel Ibarra. Moving up from the JV’s to bolster the squad were Nick Cepeda, Ed Delzer and Greg Olivares. New head coach Jerry Perez had high hopes of finishing strong in league play, commenting, ‘At this point, the pitching staff looks sound, the out- field has speed, and the infield, with the exception of first base, is up to 3-A division level. | think we are going to surprise a lot of people.” 1.
