Norte Vista barely beat Rubidoux the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Braves blew past the Falcons 8-2 on Tuesday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 6-5 back in March.
Joel Najera spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits and racked up ten Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on David Sainz, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Edgar Montalvo, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double.
