Caltech Breaks 228-Game Losing Streak In Baseball

((HT: Cal Tech their ownselves))

228 games is a long time...

Caltech last posted an NCAA baseball win on February 15, 2003 when they beat CSU-Monterey Bay 5-4. Then, this weekend, the Beavers beat Pacifica 9-7 in the second game of a doubleheader to break that astronomically-long losing streak...

And, no the number isn't a misprint...

Caltech has 17 men's and women's sports...

The men's hoops team, at this writing, is 1-20...
So are the women... but Stephanie Wong may set the record for points in a season before they're through... even if their losing streak is at 16...

They have fencing, track and field, soccer, cross country, swimming and diving...

So, statistically, this could be one of the worst athletics programs in the country. But, if we judged Caltech by the athletics program, we'd be in serious trouble...

They can only lay claim to 17 Nobel Prize winners, astronaut Frank Borman, Moshe Arens, a former PM of Iceland, and Frank Capra (yes, THAT Frank Capra)...

So, the HQ is more than happy to celebrate their wins when they come...
Here's postgame from the Pacifica win from Head Coach Matthew Mark, Daniel Chou, and Brian Penserini
