Key to the ELAC’s SCC title run was a 5-1 upset over then first place Mt. SAC, on April 5, followed by a 5-4 shocker of Cerritos, April 10.
The baseball team (21-13, 13-6) ends the regular season with two games against Los Angeles College Harbor College (15-19, 6-13) tonight at 5 p.m. at home and tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. on the road.
