Marina grad wins state title

Payton Lobdell, a graduate from Marina High and member of the Cypress College baseball team, recently helped his team capture the state title.

The Chargers did the deed with a 10-3 victory against Fullerton College on Friday, May 19. Lobdell, a freshman pitcher, made an appearance at Cuesta in the postseason. The Chargers, who finished in fourth place in the Orange Empire Conference and barely qualified for the Regionals, truly embodied the underdog/Cinderella story.
