Playing in its final game before its league schedule ramps up, the San Benito High baseball team dispatched visiting Everett Alvarez 11-1 on Tuesday in Tri-County Athletic League action, with the game being called in the fifth inning due to the 10-run rule.
The Balers plated 11 runs on just six hits in the game, although they directly scored seven of those runs without connecting on a single hit, taking advantage of several base on balls committed by Alvarez as well as hit-batsmen.
The bottom of the fifth inning, for instance, saw San Benito score five runs on just one hit — a walk-off RBI single to center field by Matt Vallejo that plated Marcus Sabatte from third base.
San Benito sent four pitchers to the bump Tuesday, including starter Dustin Rovella, Robert Soto, Cooper Sepulveda and Skyler Fuss, who combined for one run on two hits while striking out seven.
At the plate, Sabatte scored four runs on two hits and had two walks, while Rovella knocked in four runs.
