The Vikings baseball team will try to extend their postseason run in San Diego County next weekend (May 15-17) at the State Super Regional tournament. Top-seeded Palomar College will host a four-team, double-elimination tournament to determine one of the South’s two representatives in the State Championships.<\/p>\n
\n
No. 6 Long Beach will face No. 5 Santa Ana College on Friday at 4pm. Palomar (34-11-1) plays No. 14 Mt. San Antonio College (30-16) at noon in the tourney opener.<\/p>\n
The Vikings (29-16) advance to the Super Regionals for the first time since their state championship season in 2006. LBCC is coming off a thrilling 10-8 10-inning win over Grossmont College on Saturday to take their regional series 2-0.<\/p>\n
Santa Ana is 34-11 overall and was champions of the Orange Empire Conference. Santa Ana beat Southwestern College 2-0 to capture its regional series.<\/p>\n
LBCC and Santa Ana met once very early season. On February 3 at Joe Hicks Memorial Field, the Vikings beat Santa Ana 8-2.<\/p>\n
Long Beach did not face Palomar this season and was 0-3 against Mt. SAC in SCC play.<\/p>\n
In the other Super Regional at No. 2 Orange Coast, OCC will face No. 9 Saddleback and No. 4 Cypress takes on No. 7 Mt. San Jacinto. <\/p>\n
The winners of the Super Regionals advance to the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Baseball Championship on May 23-25 in Fresno.<\/p>\n
