Baseball:

Long Beach edges Pasadena
3-2 to snap two-game slide

The Long Beach City College baseball team got back on track with a 3-2 South Coast Conference win over visiting Pasadena City College on Tuesday at Joe Hicks Memorial Field.

The win snapped LBCC’s two-game losing streak and improved the Vikings to 12-8 overall and 5-2 in the SCC.

Sophomore left fielder Matt Homstad’s two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning drove in sophomore shortstop Hector Iribe from second base to break a 2-2 tie.

Long Beach held Pasadena (5-10, 2-4 SCC) to just three hits. Freshman Jared Smith allowed two runs and three hits over 6 2/3 innings, while sophomore Scott Watson (1-2) earned the win with 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief.

Pasadena’s Corey Feldmeth earned the loss. Feldmeth allowed Homstad’s hit in relief of PCC starter Eisen Castro. Castro gave up three runs (two earned) and three hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Long Beach returns to action on Thursday (March 12) with a 2:30 p.m. SCC game at rival Cerritos College.
