The home team had come away the winner the last three times La Serna and California had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Lancers fell just short of the Condors by a score of 4-3 on Tuesday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Lancers of the 5-4 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
