Swimmer Aaron Waters pulled himself out of the Indian Valley Campus pool last Saturday during a balmy afternoon swim meet. An outstretched arm had just won him the 100-yard intermediate medley by four hundredths of a second, and the 19-year-old looked at COM's coach, Warren Lager, to check his time.
College of Marin lost its regular season opener 9-5 to Solano College on March 5. The Mariners fell behind early, but rallied to tie thanks to a leadoff single and a couple of walks, capped by a two RBI hit from third baseman Nick Baldocchi. A big top of the sixth, however, put Solano ahead for good, despite productive outings from Baldocchi, who ended up with three hits and three RBIs, and Abel Gonzales, who smashed a homerun and a single.
