The Laney College baseball team, buoyed by two victories from sophomore pitcher Niko Loza, entered the second week of February with a 4–3 record.

Loza has two of those victories and has not given up an earned run in two starts totaling 16.1 innings. Loza pitched 7.1 innings of onehit ball in an 11–0 victory over City College of San Francisco on Jan. 31 and then came back a week later to defeat Monterey Peninsula College, 1–0, on Feb. 7. He gave up eight hits against the Lobos.

The Eagles’ other two victories in the young season came against CCSF in the season opener on Jan. 27 in Pacifica (5–4 in 10 innings)and versus Hartnell College in Salinas on Feb. 3 (10–8).

Relief pitching has been a problem for the Eagles. Starter Matt Pomykala had a 1–0 lead against Santa Rosa Junior College on Feb. 10 before he was lifted after five innings.

Seven pitchers later, the Bearcubs had a 9–3 victory.
