Working His Way to the Top: Curtis Gomez only got to start 13 games for the University of the Pacific in the spring, hitting .224, but his coaches will have to put him out there if he keeps playing like he has for the POWER thus far into the season. Hitting .292/.485/.417 with the second most RBIs on the team (8), Gomez has played phenomenally and swung well since arriving in Palm Springs. He’s a humble guy, who will credit the coaches if you ask what’s led to his strong numbers thus far. Gomez earned his start tonight and deserves that spot atop the lineup, if you’ve ever wondered about “work ethic” and whether hard work pays off, look no further than the 5’9″ U. of the Pacific sophomore from Santa Cruz.
Listen Live: Listen live to tonight’s game as Darrell Linderman and Nathan Barnett call all of the action. The broadcast will start right around 7:00pm with the first pitch at 7:05.
