SYLMAR - Just two days removed from a gritty win at Bakersfield, a fatigued Glendale Community College baseball squad had its six-game winning streak snapped in another Western State Conference South Division road game against LA Mission College. The Vaqueros held a three-run lead in the sixth inning before giving up seven runs in the frame and 11 unanswered to eventually lose to the Eagles, 14-6, Saturday afternoon at El Cariso Park in Sylmar. “We were a little tired,” Vaqueros Coach Chris Cicuto said.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE - When it was needed most, the Glendale Community College softball team played at its best Tuesday in a doubleheader with L.A. Mission College. "This was a day where if we lost one we probably wouldn't have made it [into the California College Athletic Assn. regional playoffs], we had to win them both," Glendale Coach Dave "Hawk" Wilder said. Not only did the Vaqueros do that, they did so convincingly, winning both games at the Glendale Sports Complex by a score of 8-0 to, according to Wilder, cement their spot in the regional tournament and as the second-place team in the Western State Conference's Blue Division with a 12-6 conference, 27-13 overall record.
