Jake Brande Game Report: vs Rancho Mirage

Palm Desert found a leader in Jake Brande as the squad took down Rancho Mirage on Friday. Brande did his part (and then some), not allowing a single earned run over eight innings pitched for the 'W'. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

Coming up, Brande and Palm Desert will challenge Palos Verdes at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. Coming in off a loss to Redondo Union in their last outing, the Sea Kings are looking for some redemption. Will the Aztecs have enough to fend them off? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
