A busy weekend of athletic events is set to take place. Tonight our men’s and women’s basketball teams conclude their seasons in our gym. The women will play Laney College at 5:30 and our men will follow that action with a game against Alameda. Baseball will continue a suspended game against San Francisco today on our field beginning at 1:30. The game was suspended after two and one third innings yesterday in San Francisco due to fog. After that game, a second game will follow. When the third game of the series is played is yet to be determined. The softball team was scheduled to play San Mateo tomorrow at home. That game has been moved to Solano College and is still scheduled for tomorrow at 2 p.m. Of course, more rescheduling could take place with baseball and softball depending on what happens with the weather.
