(Baldwin Park) – It was a terrific day for Baldwin Park and Alex Natividad as the first baseman sprinted from his position and dove in front of the dugout to catch a foul pop-up while also going on an offensive tear at the plate by batting 4 for 4 with 2 RBIs. The host Braves (3-2) committed no errors on defense and routed Glenn (3-3) 10-3 Tuesday in non-league play.<\/p>\n
Baldwin Park scored five runs on three hits and two errors in the sixth to finish off Glenn. In the inning, an Eric Sanchez launch fell just short of a grand slam in deep right and instead became a long two run single on zero outs and bases loaded. Sanchez ended the day going 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs and was amongst four Braves getting doubles along with Jarrett Sotolongo, Jordan Palacio, and Andrew Valles.<\/p>\n
Valles cranked 3 for 4 at the plate and surged up his batting average to a team high .529 on the season.<\/p>\n
With three innings in the books, BP had already belted ten hits, highlighted by their go-ahead third, where six of the first seven batters fired base hits for three runs to help push the Braves out of a 1-1 tie onto a 4-1 advantage. Ryan Dominguez (2 for 4) sprinted in for three runs and stole two bases (2-2) in the process.<\/p>\n
The Eagles began the fifth on John Lemos\u2019 driving single in the 5-6 hole and tightened Baldwin Park\u2019s lead to two runs (5-3) when the ensuing batter Andy Aguirre crushed one high over right for a two run bomb. Subsequently, starting and eventual winning pitcher Eddie Gutierrez was replaced by Christian Torres who served three closing shutout innings, allowing just two hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
