Head Coach Scott Laverty and Assistant Coach Jason Sobieski of the University of Redlands baseball team’s coaching staff helped guide the Cheyenne Grizzlies to the Mountain Collegiate Baseball League regular season title last week, giving the club the top seed in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies compiled a 26-16 record and finished the regular season with a commanding 4.5-game advantage over second-place Laramie.

“It has been a great summer and a pleasure to work with players from all over the country,” Laverty said. “I look forward to the playoff run.”

Laramie and Greeley meet in a one-game playoff, and the winner will face the Grizzlies in a best-of-three series.

Laverty, the team’s head coach, mentored a number of Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) student-athletes that competed for Cheyenne over the summer. He coached four from the University of La Verne (Michael Surina, Jon-Michael Hattabaugh, Aaron Coopman and Donovan Petta) and two from Pomona-Pitzer Colleges (Leo Rosetti and Nickolas Frederick).

He served as the skipper for the 2009 Redlands baseball program that boasted a 25-15 record (14-7 SCIAC) and won at least 20 games for the fifth time in as many years.
