Former Palisades High baseball player Cade Hulse didn’t hang up his glove when he graduated.
Now the starting first baseman at Pomona-Pitzer, he went 6-for-11 with two walks (a .545 batting average) and scored four runs in a three-game series against Redlands last weekend.
Hulse is hitting .310 in his sophomore season for the Sagehens (7-4), who reeled off five wins in a row to start the spring, including an opening 11-0 rout of seventh-ranked Rhodes College of Tennessee.
Hulse grew up in the Palisades and played in the Pacific Palisades Baseball Association for eight years, winning the Pinto World Series with the Red Sox. He was also a member of the Palisades Pirates travel team for five years.
Hulse hit .400 to earn All-League first team honors as a sophomore, was the Dolphins’ defensive player of the year and RBI leader as a junior and was the SoCal Fall All-Wood MVP the next fall. He was named Western League Pitcher of the Year and won the Post Cup Award in 2014 as the outstanding senior athlete at Pali High.
