Numbers Don’t Do Panthers Justice

The Chapman baseball team’s six-game winning streak doesn’t begin to show how dominant the Panthers have been recently.

Chapman has outscored opponents in that span, 60-12, including an 18-4 victory over Occidental Tuesday.

The Panthers (15-9), ranked 20th in the Collegiate Baseball national Division III poll, haven’t been fattening up solely on patsies. Last week, they beat No. 12 Emory, 14-0. Josh LaRocca pitched a one-hitter, giving up only a scratch single.

Chapman hosts Whittier at 3 p.m. today at Hart Park and plays at Pomona-Pitzer at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Chapman is batting .335 as a team and has a 3.38 earned-run average.
