STOCKTON – Sierra belted 17 hits Tuesday and put up eight runs in the second inning and eight more in the seventh to pummel host Weston Ranch 16-1 in Valley Oak League baseball action.

“We did what we needed to do,” Timberwolves coach Jack Thomson said. “I was a little disappointed in our approach at the plate after the second inning and we got shut down in innings 3 through 6.

“In the seventh inning, some other guys came in and we did a better job at the plate. It is what it is and we have to do it again Thursday.”

Jake Souza was 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI for Sierra (7-1 VOL, 15-3) and Dakota Conners (3 for 4) knocked in two runs. Kyle Oden started and threw six innings for the Timberwolves, striking out seven and walking one.
