Disbro tabbed top athlete for the week
(5/2/12) Grossmont College baseball pitcher Justin Disbro has been
named Pacific Coast Athletic Conference Men’s Athletes of the Week.
Disbro, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound sophomore from Patrick Henry High
School, threw a complete-game seven-hitter, striking out seven and
walking two, to beat San Diego Mesa for the second time in nine days
this time 3-1, preventing the Olympians from winning the PCAC
championship outright. Mesa, Southwestern and Palomar share the
title.
Disbro ran his win-loss record to 7-2 with a final 1.61 ERA.
Greenwood is Athlete of the Week
(3/7/12) The Pacific Coast Conference has named Palomar College
baseball player Julian Esquibel and Grossmont baseball player Loren
Greenwood as its Men’s Athletes of the Week for the week that ended
on Sunday.
Esquibel, a sophomore right-handed pitcher from Vista High School
and a first-team All-PCAC selection last season, defeated San Diego
Mesa 3-1 with a complete-game four-hitter.
Esquibel retired 18 Mesa batters in a row at one juncture. He’s the
brother of another pitching standout, Andres Esquibel (Vista High,
Palomar, University of Kansas, Seattle Mariners farm system).
Greenwood helped Grossmont to a 3-0 week and undisputed first place
in the conference entering the current week. The freshman center
fielder from Granite Hills High School, singled in the go-ahead run
in a 5-1 victory over San Diego City.
His one-out double broke a 3-3 tie as Grossmont went on beat
Imperial Valley 9-5. And he delivered a single to give the Griffins
their first run of the game, then drove in the go-ahead run with a
fielder’s choice in the next inning, in a 9-5 victory over Palomar.
