Baseball:
Walnut didn’t just pick up their first two-game Palomares League sweep of the season, the Mustangs secured their first league series victory after 9-1 and 6-4 victories over Bonita on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.
The second game actually started on Friday, but after the bag at first base kept popping out of the ground, the game got postponed in the top of the second with WHS holding a 4-0 lead.
JJ Rodriguez went five innings and he was charged with four runs (two earned) on eight hits and a pair of hit batters.
Rodriguez issued two walks and registered three strikeouts.

Adam Raab provided five innings in relief, and he was charged with two runs on six hits and a hit batter.
