“It’s extremely rare to have two alumni from the same community college both pitch for the same team in the same game and record a win and a save,” said Russ Luce, CGCC baseball coach. “We are fortunate to have such quality players come through the college and continue on to play at such a high level.”

Both Long and Pazos play for the Trenton Thunder, a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees.
