Three wins out of three last week for Southern California’s No. 2 ranked Palomar Comets. On Tuesday the team traveled to San Diego City College’s Morely Field where Niko Holm’s 6th inning RBI proved to be the difference between the two clubs. It was the pitching of Palomar’s Tyler Russell and SDCC’s Christian Broussard that took center stage on the day as the duo dueled over 7+ innings, each only giving up 3 hits.

On Thursday the Comets returned home to Myer’s Field, this time playing hosts to SDCC.  Behind Troy Lamparello and Taylor Turski’s eight shutout innings of pitching Palomar defeated the Knights 6-1.

Saturday’s game was the fourth and final matchup between the two colleges this season. After over three hours and 29 hits combined at Morely Field it was the Comets coming out on top, 10-6, sweeping the series.

Sophomore Alex Salcedo went 4-6 at the plate with a double, triple, four RBI’s, and two runs scored. Palomar started off the game with a bang as Salcedo’s leadoff triple was followed by Jordan Gardner’s double and Frank Christy’s sixth home run of the season put them up 3-0.

Tyler Russell was honored as PCAC’s male athlete of the week for his performances. Russell is now 4-0 this season with a 1.34 ERA.

The Comet’s are off all this week and return to action next Tuesday, March 24 as they travel to Imperial Valley College.
