The Braves took the season series from Golden Valley this past week, dropping one game 8-3 while claiming victory in two other games, 13-9 and 7-5.
Tehachapi (13-6; 9-3 SSL) chipped away at an early 8-0 lead from Golden Valley last Friday to score three runs, led by Jeff Waldram’s two for three batting, a run scored and three stolen bases, and Christian Brown’s one for two plate performance with a run scored. Johnny Holguin had the other run scored for the junior varsity squad.
Earlier in the week, the Braves opened up the scoring early in a 13-9 win over the Bulldogs, scoring 10 runs in the first inning. Franky Rodriguez led the charge, going three for four with a stolen base, a triple and four RBIs. Tehachapi got its other win, a 7-5 decision, with a big five-run second inning that featured a home run by Johnny Holguin and runs scored by Robert Berryman, Johnny Holguin, Jeff Waldram, Steve Miller and Vince Trevino.
For the season, Franky Rodriguez leads the team with a .609 batting average and 22 RBIs. As a team, Tehachapi has outscored its opponents by a combined 123-70, with 124 hits.
The Braves will face off against Arvin this week in their final two games of the year, with South Sequoia League title implications in the balance. Tehachapi will have an away game on Tuesday and a home game on Thursday against the Bruins, with both at 4 p.m. start times.
