Perennially one of the favorites to win the CUNYAC Community College Championship, the Queensborough Tigers finally won their first non-conference game of the season last week, as Jose Velez, Jr., played a major part on the mound and at the plate. In four games last week, Velez, a Region XV first-team all-star last year, went 7-15 (.467) with one double, one walk, two home runs, three runs scored and four runs batted in. The 6' lefty also picked up his first win of the year on the hill with a strong 2.2 inning appearance versus highly-competitive Westchester CC. QCC (9-18 overall) has already qualified for the 2010 Tournament final at MCU Park in Coney Island on Wednesday, April 28 @ 3:30 pm.
