LCC Palomino baseball team to host tryouts Saturday

High school graduates who have a talent for playing baseball are invited to
attend tryouts for the Palomino baseball team of Laredo Community College on
Saturday, June 5 at 9 a.m. at the Dr. Crispin Sanchez Field, located on the north
side of the Fort McIntosh Campus.

"I'll be looking for potential student-athletes who have a passion for baseball
and want to take their talents to the collegiate level," LCC head baseball coach
Eric Gonzalez said.

All of the participants will go through a series of drills to evaluate their running,
outfield, infield catching, pitching and batting skills.
Gonzalez added that there some opportunities to join the team on a scholarship
or as a walk-on.  

The LCC Palominos are part of the highly competitive NJCAA Region 14 South
Zone Conference.
For more information about tryouts, call Gonzalez at 721-5326.

LCC Palominos look to improve against Cisco
For Lrd Sports Wire Contributing Sports Journalist

It’s been a roller coaster ride early in the season for the Laredo Community College
Palomino baseball team after initiating its baseball season with a series win against Ranger
College before getting swept by Clarendon College last weekend.
Still, head coach Eric Gonzalez remains optimistic about the future of the Palominos, who
currently stand with an overall 3-5 record, as they prepare to host another home stand
series against Cisco College, a top 20 junior college baseball program.
The LCC Palominos launch their non-conference battle against the Cisco Wranglers at the
Dr. Crispin Sanchez Baseball Field beginning with a doubleheader at 1 p.m. on Friday,
Feb. 12 followed by another doubleheader at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, during LCC’s
Fun Fest and Musicale, which will be ongoing throughout the day on the LCC Fort
McIntosh Campus.
“It was tough losing to Clarendon last weekend,” Gonzalez said.  “After going 3-1 with the
Rangers, the Palominos struggled defensively against Clarendon.”
Last spring, Clarendon finished second in the conference to national champions, Howard
Junior College.
The Palominos’ leading hitters against Clarendon included Jeremy Fussell 2-3, Emmanuel
Dipini 4-10, Mike Anzaldua 2-6, Ismael “Smiley” Gonzalez 1-3, and Derek Hagy 4-13.  The
top pitchers were Laredoan Sergio Velasquez Jr. with a 2.81 era and Ross Porter
with a 4.43 era.
“(Clarendon) is a good program and that is the main reason they were invited to come play
against the Palominos,” Gonzalez said. “Cisco also is a power house on the diamond. The
opportunity to play these teams will hopefully strengthen the Palominos when we enter
conference play later this season.”
LCC will play one more non-conference match against Hill College on February 24 in San
Marcos before traveling to Brenham, where the Palominos begin conference action against
the Blinn College Buccaneers February 27-28.
Admission to local games is $2 per adult, $1 for children and free with an LCC student or
faculty/staff ID card.
