For the first time in the school’s history, Salt Lake Community College Bruins are headed to Grand Junction, Colorado, home of the Junior College World Series, after a 14-1 victory in the NJCAA Western District Championship over Southeast Community College.

Freshman pitcher Traton Staheli got the win going with 7.2 innings pitched, zero earned runs and nine strikeouts. The Bruins also got home runs from freshman right-fielder Trey Gambill and freshman third-baseman Taylor Ayala en route to the 14-1 victory.
