Palomar College has again dominated the local Pacific Coast Athletic Association in both baseball and softball.

The Comets’ baseball team, which is ranked third in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, has clinched a fifth straight PCAC title going into the final three games of the regular season this week.

The Palomar softball team, which is ranked second in the state, has clinched a 12th straight PCAC title going into Tuesday’s regular-season finale at San Diego City College.

Both the 32-4 baseball team and 36-1 softball team are expected to be seeded No. 1 in the Southern California Regionals when the state playoff brackets are drawn next weekend.

Palomar’s baseball team has a 21-1 conference record and a five-game lead on Grossmont (24-13, 16-6) going into three Comets-Griffins games this week. The only thing left to decide is the bid by Palomar Elijah Stephens (Sage Creek High School) to win the Triple Crown. Stephens leads the conference in batting (.447) and RBIs (56) and is second to Grossmont’s Justin Heffler (St. Augustine High; .408-11-44) in home runs with 10.

Meanwhile, Palomar has won 24 straight softball games. Starting pitcher Kiara Flaviani (La Costa Canyon High) has a 31-1 record and a 1.92 earned run average. Alexis Huey (Poway High) paces the offense with a .555 average, 20 home runs and 65 RBIs.
