Turlock had an opportunity to at least extend the game with Sierra sophomore reliever Dakota Conners on the mound in a nonleague contest Monday.

Conners took the mound with two out, runners on the corners and the go-ahead run standing in the batter’s box. He got out of the jam with a ground ball, as Sierra held on for a 7-5 road win.

The Timberwolves (2-1) plated the game’s first three runs in the third inning, but Turlock (1-1) answered with three of its own in the bottom half.

Sierra took the lead for good with a four-run rally in the fourth. Marc Wilson provided the big knock, a two-run single with two outs.

John Waggy went 2 for 4 to lead Sierra offensively. Tommy Evans (two doubles) and Austin Thomas were both 2 for 4 for the Bulldogs.

Mark Crain was the winning pitcher.



Summerville 4, Weston Ranch 3

In Tuolumne, the Cougars (2-4) wasted a pitching gem from senior Cristian Vazquez, who went the distance and yielded four hits and two earned runs.

Summerville (2-2) got the winning run, which was aided by an error, in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Kevin Haruta went 3 for 4 with two doubles for Weston Ranch.



Chavez 20, Lathrop 9

Lathrop (2-3) spotted the visiting Titans (3-3) seven runs in the top of the first inning but managed to make a game of it by scoring six in the third to close in 8-7.

Chavez broke away for good with an eight-run barrage in the fourth. The game ended after six innings due to the mercy rule. Chavez only needed nine hits to break the 20-run barrier, as the Spartans committed seven errors.

Mikey Pereznegron was 2 for 2 with two runs scored, and Austin Plunk walked twice in a 1-for-1 effort. David Fonseca and Ernie Garcia each contributed a double and two RBIs.
