Pirates Have Four Earn First Team All-WSC

The Ventura College baseball team placed four players on the first team All-Western State Conference list in voting by the North Division coaches following the 2024 season. First baseman Haiden Letzing led the contingent with a Gold Glove Award in addition to his first team all-conference recognition. Other Pirates named first team All-WSC included designated hitter Peter Dufau, outfielder Bryce Elias and starting pitcher Luca Staiano.

Pirates Rally in the Ninth to Beat Pierce

The Pirate baseball team rallied in the top of the ninth inning to post a 6-3 victory at Los Angeles Pierce College Friday in Woodland Hills. Peter Dufau hit a solo home run in VC's final at-bat to begin the three-run frame for the margin of victory. Mason Reid had a two-RBI triple and David King belted out three hits, including a double, with one run batted in. Anthony Cuevas scattered seven hits over six innings on the mound, giving up one run in his quality start for Ventura (19-18, 11-13).
