College Baseball:
With five games remaining on their 2023 schedule, PCC could realistically leapfrog Rio Hondo and ELAC into the SCC’s second spot if they win out.
On Tuesday, the Lancers hammered LA Harbor, 18-7, in a best-of-three series.
After their set with the Seahawks, PCC closes with seventh-place Compton.
They are one back of ELAC, and one-half game behind Rio Hondo, thanks to the Tartars 6-3 victory over the Roadrunners on Tuesday.
But back to Tuesday’s thumping.
The Lancers got five runs in the top of the second and seven more in the third inning.
Jared Stephenson got the loss after allowing eight runs on six hits over 2 1/3 innings.
He walked five and fanned one PCC batter.

Kyle Noell went the first four innings and got roughed up for seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits, including a pair of home runs.
He walked one and had one strikeout.
Ben Griffith earned his second college win, going four scoreless innings and allowing just two hits.
