Baseball:
Charter Oak and Northview entered the week in a two-way tie for second place in the Valle Vista League.
In the first of two games this week, Charter Oak escaped Northview with an 8-7 road victory.
The Chargers actually held a 5-0 lead only to see the Vikings score seven combined runs in the third and fourth innings.
But three fifth inning runs would be enough for COHS.
Isaiah Alvarez got the win despite facing just two batters and throwing seven pitches in the fourth inning.
Diego Ortiz earned the save, going three scoreless innings and allowing two hits over that stretch.
Ortiz didn’t walk anyone and struck out three.
Sal Batres went 3-for-4, with a home run and three RBIs.
Ivan Barragan singled three times and scored.
Micah Hidalgo walked, singled and scored two runs.
Andrew Baltazar walked, singled twice, scored and had an RBI.
Dean Curley singled and scored, and Eligh Hidalgo singled, scored and drove in one run.
Tyson Patrick was stuck with the loss after allowing three runs on three hits over his three innings of work.
He walked three and fanned three Chargers’ batters.
Alejandro Blanquet had a monster game with two doubles and six RBIs.
Ortiz also did his part at the plate, going 3-for-4, and scoring two runs.
Aaron Osorio walked three times and scored twice.
Anthony Vasquez doubled and drove in a pair of runs.
Evan Avitia walked twice, singled and scored three runs.
Up next: Charter Oak will host Northview on Friday, and with the hopes of securing the Valle Vista League’s No. 2 seed.
