During a weekend sweep of La Verne, senior Jake Petersen earned a game one victory while combining for a .467 average for 11 total bases, with two walks, six runs scored and four RBIs to lead the Kingsmen back into sole possession of first place in the SCIAC standings. The southpaw worked 7.0 innings, striking out six and scattering six hits as he improved to 6-2 on the season, on Friday while also collecting three hits, which included a two-run homerun. On Saturday, he started in left field both games, contributing an RBI single as part of a seven-run eighth inning in a come-from-behind 7-4 victory in the first game of a double header. He followed with a three-hit nightcap, notching a double, that drove in one as he scored three times. Petersen was perfect in the field for the Kingsmen as well.
