Chabot College baseball coach Will Tavis called it a "good team win."

Indeed, the Gladiators pitched and hit well and played solid defense in a 6-1 triumph over Lassen on Saturday, Feb. 19 in nonconference play.

Starting pitcher Gabe Tanner went seven strong innings to pick up the victory, allowing six hits and one run in the top of the first inning. Reliever Ryan Muir closed it out, allowing no hits and striking out four over 1.2 innings. The Gladiators (5-5) were led on offense by John Gazdar, who doubled twice in four at-bats; Justin Durflinger (2 for 4, triple, home run); and Sam Gilliam (2 for 3, home run).

In other action last week, Chabot beat Los Medanos 8-2 and fell to Diablo Valley 10-3.

Against Los Medanos, first baseman Matt Sugden was 2 for 3 with two RBI. He slugged a double and a home run. Gazdar was 2 for 3 with two runs and an RBI.

Starting pitcher Bryce Clark went five innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs and striking out two. Reliever Josh Caravalho was stellar over four hitless innings with six strikeouts.

The Gladiators will have a busy week at their new Steve Friend Stadium, with home games against Diablo Valley on Tuesday, De Anza on Thursday, and Mission on Friday, all starting at 2 p.m.
