Standing third amongst six other Western League schools, the Venice varsity baseball team continues to try their hardest to reclaim  the Western League Championship. With a current league ranking of 3-2, the team is driven to win the rest of their upcoming games.

¨ We basically have to go undefeated the rest of league to win league,¨ said Varsity Baseball Coach Kevin Brockway.

According to Coach Brockway the team has been struggling with their batting which in turn is affecting the teams´ performance.

¨Our bats have been struggling,¨ said Pitcher Jacob Manzella. ¨Once we get the bats going, we´ll win games for sure.¨

Despite this obstacle, the baseball players are still working towards ending the season with a ¨bang¨ as Coach Brockway says.

¨ Some ways we can improve is by working hard and practicing every day, ¨ said third baseman Bruce Yamamoto. ¨ If we don´t work hard in practice then we can’t improve in the game.¨

¨We need to stop fooling around,¨ said first baseman Andres Becerra. ¨We just need to go out there and handle our business.¨

The team is looking forward to winning their upcoming home games.  

Their most anticipated game is against rival Palisades on May 8 at home and May 10 at Palisades.
