The win improves the Balers to 2-2 in the Tri-County Athletic League, 3-3 overall.
With a sweep at doubles earning the Balers three wins, the team got its fourth win at No. 1 singles, where Jacob Garcia defeated Gilroy’s Victor Vong 7-6, 6-3.
The Mustangs won the remaining three singles matches, however. Andrew Costa topped Nick Trillo 6-3, 6-0; Joseph Leong did the same to Alex Reilly 6-2, 7-6; and Justin Cho followed suit with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Travis Mills.
But San Benito’s sweep of the doubles division lifted the Balers to a one-point win.
At No. 1, Kyle Skinner and Eric Johnson remained undefeated in TCAL play when they beat Andrew Hathaway and Ryan Case 6-1, 6-0; San Benito’s Sunny Singh and Brian Becerra remained undefeated on the season when they beat Eric O’Reiley and Josh Sontag 6-4, 6-1; while Jacob and Andrew Panger defeated Bobby Kwong and Ryan Jansky 6-0, 6-1.
The Balers are off until Tuesday when they will visit Christopher High in Gilroy. Match time is 4 p.m.
