Baseball/Pitcher-Shortstop

Rodriguez, a four-year member of the Sonora varsity, showed his mettle last week. In the Division II semifinals, he pitched a five-hitter in the Raiders’ 9-3 victory over Temecula Valley to improve his record to 9-0. “We give him the ball and expect him to win,” Sonora co-Coach John Link said. Rodriguez also got Sonora’s first hit of the game, a leadoff home run in the fourth inning to tie the score, 1-1. He was two for four with an RBI in Sonora’s 7-2 victory over San Luis Obispo in the final.
