The San Benito boys tennis team remained perfect on the season Tuesday when it defeated host Monte Vista Christian 5-2 in Watsonville and improved to 3-0 overall.
The Balers, who are now 2-0 in the Tri-County Athletic League, had just one loss each among its singles players and doubles teams, leading to the comfortable conference win.
Kyle Skinner picked up a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Ha Lee at the No. 1 position, and teammate Jacob Garcia narrowly defeated Sean Trando 4-6, 7-5 and 11-9 in the third-set tiebreaker.
Monte Vista Christian scored its lone singles win at No. 3, where Larry Hsu defeated Austin Pan 5-7, 6-1 and 10-6 in the third-set tiebreaker, although San Benito’s Eric Johnson returned the favor at the No. 4 spot by upending Khoi Houng 6-4, 6-1.
It was a similar story in doubles as well. The Balers’ top team in Conner Bray and Michael Jensen topped Elias Stolzberg and David Lin 6-3, 6-2, while teammates Geoff Muzik and Jacob Panger followed suit with a 6-4, 4-6 10-6 victory against Andy Chang and Jay Jung.
The Watsonville school earned its only doubles victory in the No. 4 spot, as Max Song and Sam Huang beat Richard Gomez and Travis Mills in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
