Predictions for the weekend:

La Verne 2 out of three, but surprise CMS pulls one out.
Cal Lu gets off to a good start with a sweep of Chapman.
Oxy sweeps Cal Tech...
And the tough one... Redlands looks like the class of the league on paper. I still have faith in the PP bats and Gerics should be enough on the mound to steal one. Redlands takes 2 of 3 is my prediction and I sure hope I'm right. Could easily see a sweep

Whittier could take one from LC, but don't see them beating Bates...could be a tough stretch if they don't take down LC.

Let's hope for an entertaining week of ball. Go Hens

New poster here. Was unaware of this board untill recently, but as a Pomona baseball alumni I decided I should join the conversation. I still live in the area and attend as many games as I can. With that all out of the way... I was completely blindsided by the games today. I had read only positives and expected PP to field a very strong team this year. Instead I witnessed an absolute massacre. CMS our arch rival is simply a more talented team this year. They beat us in every facet of the game today. CMS outfielder Trey Smith is a more dynamic player than either the cape cod league bound Nishioka or former league MVP Simon Rosenbaum. Furthermore the CMS lineup is deeper and in my humble opinion better across the board. The left handers from PP really struggled today and I don't see them getting many outs this year in SCIAC play. Beyond the play on the field I was beyond disappointed by the difference in the effort level. CMS was loud and engaged throughout the game as PP seemed to crack under the pressure. I hope this is just a bad weekend for the 'Hens, otherwise this could be a long year.... Go hens
