Salinas
The shorthanded San Benito boys tennis suffered a tough 4-3 loss Thursday to Everett Alvarez in Salinas, and remain in search of their first league win.
The ‘Balers were without a player due to illness, and had to shuffle their lineup. As a result, the No. 4 singles position was forfeited.
At No. 1, Derek Panger won his match 6-1, 6-0 over PJ Vargas, while Mark Tobias defeated Peter Ngoi 6-2, 4-6 (11-9). Avoiding the sweep, Alvarez’ Mike Jung beat Joe Frusetta 1-6, 5-7.
In doubles, San Benito’s Tony Culler and Jon Rudolfs won 6-1, 6-2 against John Nguyen and Brandon Moriyama, but Michael Labuguen and Conner Baray fell to Daniel Chong and Rainier Nanquil 1-6, 3-6. The No. 3 doubles team of Thomas Parcell and Michael Frelier lost to Mike Castro and Irvin Del Balle 0-6, 2-6.
The ‘Balers (3-2, 0-2 TCAL) will return to the court Tuesday at Palma at 3:30 p.m. in Salinas.
