At the No. 3 position, Balers Anne Tobias and Krysten Klay won their match 6-0, 7-5 over Watsonville’s Tonya Hernandez and Ruby Magdaleno.
San Benito’s singles took three of the four matches as well, with the lone loss coming to Audrey Marshall at the No. 3 spot. Marshall narrowly lost to Sara Benivi 6-4, 4-6, 9-11.
Otherwise, the Balers picked up wins at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4.
