The Buffaloes bounced back from a pair of Valley Oak League losses with a 5-0 win over East Union Tuesday at Manteca High.
Yassen Aniss was nearly perfect in topping Sean Hilscher 6-0, 6-1, and Alex McAdams was almost as impressive in knocking off Steve Shepherd, 6-2, 6-1.
Marc Leon had to earn his win over Matt Eichsteadt, 4-6, 6-2 (6-2).
In doubles play, Arnie Morales and Alex Barragan swept 6-0, 6-0, while Kyle Morton and Oral Nunis won 6-2, 6-1.
“It was nice to get back on track,” Manteca head coach Frank Fontana said. “We’ll see what happens, there are still some big matches left. (First place) Sonora still has to face Ceres, Oakdale and us.”
