The Healdsburg Prune Packers are riding a hot streak, improving to 3‑1 in the Pacific Empire League and 11‑2 overall as they prepare to face the unbeaten Lincoln Potters, who sit atop the league at 4‑1.
After a 5‑3 setback to the West Coast Kings, the Packers answered with a four‑game winning stretch that included victories over Marysville, the Stone Cutters, the Kings again, and the California Tigers. At the heart of the surge is JC Osorio‑Agar, who tops the club with a .409 average, four homers and 20 RBIs.
Chandler Day and Cooper Rummel combined for a four‑hit shutout in a 13‑0 win over Marysville, showcasing the team’s depth on the mound.
Stompers Regain Momentum
Meanwhile, the Sonoma Stompers have climbed back to .500 in California Collegiate League‑North play, improving to 8‑8 in the league and 12‑9 overall. A grand slam by Tino Vasell in the first inning sparked a win over the San Francisco Seagulls, while Misael Uriepero’s three‑RBI homer helped the Stompers edge the Alameda Stompers.
The Stompers’ week also featured a narrow 11‑inning defeat to the San Luis Obispo Blues, underscoring the competitiveness of the league.
With both teams jockeying for position, the upcoming matchups promise to further shape the standings, as the Packers look to extend their lead and the Stompers aim to maintain their resurgence.
