Tough day for the Pios, but we were so thankful to have one last practice together as a team and to be able to give a proper send off to our four seniors.

All-American super senior Jack Thomson will be back to lead the Pios in his final year on Palatine Hill this Spring. However, that won’t be the end for him, as we are proud to announce that he has committed to the University of Portland as a grad transfer for the 2024 season!
After teaching the youth campers how to properly shake hands yesterday, we worked on how to stand respectfully for the National Anthem today.

One final team pic. The Good Guys weren’t able to keep it rolling, but it was a season for the record books and L&C Baseball is relevant once again!
#RollPios
It seems that the rest of the country has discovered what we have known for a long time - Jack Thomson is good at ⚾️! Congrats to Jack on being only the 2nd 1st team All-American in school history and the first Pio ever to be named National Player of the Year!
At the end of their last practice, we alsways have our seniors do one final walk-out. Only seemed right to do the same for
@The_edp
on his final day with the Pios. We will miss him, but are so thankful for the legacy he has left behind.
After a record breaking career as a player, Jack Thomson is returning to L&C to help our players set some records of their own! Welcome back to Palatine Hill Coach Thomson!

Gutty performances on the mound from Pierson and Nomura and big swings from Thomson, Bass and Ghammachi and the Pios stay hot! 7-1 Good Guys!
#RollPios
We are very excited to announce that Coach Del Prado has accepted a job as a minor league instructor for his hometown San Diego Padres. We can’t thank him enough for all he has given to our program and we can’t wait to see the continued impact he has through the game of baseball.
We want to give a huge shoutout to Coach Turpen for finally finishing his undergrad degree at OSU. Not sure how he fit it in around being a dad to two young kids, having a full time job and spending so much time coaching our guys, but he did it. Congrats Turp!
All good things come to an end & today, we got the chance to recognize our 9 seniors as they walked out from their final practice. Besides being the class with the most wins this century, they have also shown our underclassmen what is possible if you do things the right way.
An extra special shoutout to super senior Jack Thomson for being named NWC Player of the Year for the second straight season! He will no doubt be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever wear the Pioneer uniform.

Huge shoutout to super senior Jack Thomson for not only being named to the
@d3baseball
All-Region 10 First Team at Third Base, but also for being named Region 10 Player of the Year!

#RollPios
The awards just keep coming for Jack Thomson, as he has been named to the
@d3baseball
Region 10 1st Team at 3B and was chosen as the Regional Player of the Year!
#RollPios
Although we’ve had a week for it to soak in, it’s still so amazing that our own Jack Thomson was named the National Player of the Year by
@d3baseball
. If that wasn’t enough to cement his legacy at L&C, perhaps the 13 school records he set will be.
#LegendaryLumberJack
Pioneer Baseball would like to welcome Eric Del Prado to our coaching staff. In addition to working with our hitters, we are excited to have Coach Del Prado serve as a great mentor to our players, both on and off the field. Welcome to Palatine Hill.
Pretty nice way to wrap-up the weekend for the Pios at Whittier. 22-7 Good Guys! Thanks for all the alums, family and friends who came out to support.
#RollPios
Looks like our freshmen from warm weather hometowns haven’t quite figured out what the appropriate activities are for a snow day, but we give them a lot of credit for trying.
#AlwaysCompete
As we prepare for our first ever NCAA Regional Tournament, we wanted to give a huge shoutout to all those people behind the scenes who have made this possible for our program. Thanks so much for your support!

#ThankfulThursday
What an amazing day at the Huston Complex for our final “regular season” practice with our 11 seniors. Time goes so quickly. Never take a second for granted.
#RollPios
Ritter and Clerici were in control on the mound and 💣’s from Moore, Thomson and Bass gave the Pios all the runs they needed. 14-1 Good Guys.

As we prepare for our first trip to the NWC Tournament, we want to give a big shoutout to
@The_edp
! The environment he created for our hitters is a big reason we are still playing, and we are so grateful for all he did to help us reach our goals.
#BSO
We want to send a shoutout to all the D3 athletes, who have continued to battle through the pandemic with the hopes of once again getting the chance to play the sport they love. Whether or not that happens, you should all be congratulated for your perseverance.
#ForLoveOfTheGame
It’s game week, Pio Nation! And it’s time to meet your 2024 Pios. Today we would like to introduce our 13 talented freshmen. 4 days until Opening Day!
#RollPios
A little late Holiday gift for the Fellas on Swag Day. We may be a small college program, but we love making our guys feel like they are Big Time!

We are very sad to announce the passing of legendary Lewis & Clark Baseball Coach Jerry Gatto. He was a true Pioneer, a champion for the game of baseball and will be missed greatly.
Although he was unfortunately not chosen as the NWC Pitcher of the Week, we thought freshman Luke Ritter deserved some extra recognition for his stellar performance in leading the Pios to victory on Saturday against George Fox.
Six runs in the 7th give the Pios the W on Opening Day. Huge days at the plate from Davis & Cavagnaro & great pitching from Pierson, Kerr and Potter! 9-3 Good Guys!

#ARETE
Huge shoutout to senior third baseman Jack Thomson for being named 1st Team All-NWC and the NWC Player of the Year! Sophomore Luke Bass was 2nd Team Outfield & fellow sophomore Anthony Clerici was Honorable Mention Relief Pitcher.
#RollPios
Thank you so much to our seniors, Justin Katona, Joey Oda, Cole Petters & Andrew Yarak. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all you accomplish in the future.
Senior Jack Thomson continued to rewrite the Pioneer record books yesterday, by tying the single-season home run record, with his 1️⃣5️⃣th homer of the year. Congrats Jack! Keep ‘em coming!
#RollPios
Hard to believe that at this time last week, we were on our way to our first ever victory in an NCAA Regional. Definitely a year for the record books. Here’s a look at the program records set by the Pios this season. We can’t wait to set some more records next year.
#RollPios
And there you have it! Our 9 seniors are now officially alums. We are so proud of these guys and can’t wait for all the success they experience in the future.
#RollPios
#ARETE
A huge effort from Nomura, Harvey, Shimabukuro and Clerici on the mound and huge swings from Thomson and Davis, and the Pios have forced a winner take all final game at the NWC Tourney! 6-4 Good Guys!

#RollPios
Huge shoutout to Coach Ange for all her work with our guys this Fall! It’s hard enough coordinating all of our teams under normal circumstances, but even more difficult in a pandemic. But Coach Ange made it work and all of the Pio athletes are better because of her efforts. 👊🏻
The Pios just took the series from Linfield for the second straight year! It’s the first time the Pios have won two NWC series in a season since 2000!
#RollPios

A big time debut from Hodina, and a good all around game from from the rest of the Fellas, helps the Pios finish the weekend with a W over a very solid Pomona-Pitzer squad. 10-2 Good Guys!
#RollPios
#ARETE
Hey Pio Nation - with yesterday’s win, for the first time in 35 years, your Pios have put together Back-2-Back 20 win seasons! And there is still more to come!
#RollPios
And another one! Super senior Jack Thomson has been selected as an ABCA/Rawlings 1st Team All-American at 3B! A fitting end to a remarkable career!
#LumberJack
#RollPios
Eisen throws 8 solid innings to keep the Pios in it and a Davis Dinger and game winning double from Sandoval put the Pios on top to sweep the day! 3-2 Good Guys!
#RollPios
We want to send a huge shoutout to senior Jordan Gonzalez, who has accepted a position in the Chemistry Doctoral Program at UCLA! Congrats Gonzo!

Big congratulations to our Director of Athletic Communications, Ryan Goff, for being named the Jack Sereault Sports Information Director of the Year in the NWC! We are so appreciative of all the work Ryan does for the Pio Nation.
The Pios made it interesting, but a solid outing from Hodina, big homers from Heron and Sandoval and another save by Clerici wrapped up the double-headed sweep over UPS. 5-4 Good Guys!

Another amazing night celebrating all of our ChamPIOn student-athletes at the 2023 ELCY’s. Congrats to our graduating seniors, Jack Thomson who once again won the Joe Huston Male Athlete of the Year and Luke Bass who was the Dell Smith Academic Athlete of the Year!
#RollPios
The Pios had a great day at the Ballpark, in one of our last tune-ups for Opening Day! A lot of barrels found and pitches executed. Big shoutout to
@LCPiosFB
for loaning the Fellas some footwear to use in the turf.
#RollPios
The Fellas flat out got after it in the classroom this semester. Eighth straight semester at 3.35 or higher and the most 4.0 students we’ve had in a long time.
#RollPios
Senior Jack Thomson has left no doubt who is the All-Time Home Run King at L&C. After setting the career HR record last week, he set the single-season HR record with his 16th on Saturday & then added two more for good measure. He leads all of D3 with 1️⃣8️⃣ bombs on the season!
Lots of things to clean up, but it is so good to see the Fellas back out on the Diamond. Can’t wait until it’s back at our home at Jerry Gatto Field in a few weeks!
#RollPios
#ARETE
Great pitching from Wuelfing, Shimabukuro, Ritter and Clerici, along with some big swings from Thomson & Ghammachi helped the Pios get one step closer to the NWC Tourney! 7-2 Good Guys!
#RollPios
A 3-run 💣 from freshman Tommy Valero was the big swing of the day, as Team Orange evened the Fall Series at 2-2 with a 5-3 win on a picture perfect day in PDX. It will all come down to next weekend’s Family Feud to decide the ChamPIOns of the Fall.
#RollPios
Love seeing a pack of Pio Alums out cheering on fellow alum Jack Thomson in U of Portland’s W tonight over St. Mary’s up on the Bluff!
#RollPiosForever
With the promotion of Eric Del Prado to full time assistant and the addition of Daniel Turpen (Pitching) and Tom Topaum (Catching), we are so excited to officially be able to announce our coaching staff for the 2019 season.

Huge shoutout to our Game Day crew for another awesome football season. They show up in the dark and leave in the dark, yet instead of complaining, they just get to work and take great pride in representing

Happy Swag Day! First shipment of gear is in for the Fellas. Just because we are a small college program doesn’t mean we can’t make our guys feel like they are big time.
