Socorro JV Off To 4-4 Start

The Socorro Junior Varsity Baseball Team is off to a 4-4 record this season.
Fourth year Coach Kenny Gonzalez is proud of his hard-working team.
His team split a double-header with the Magdalena varsity team on Saturday. Socorro lost the first game 8-7.
Gonzalez said, “In the last inning, it was actually very close. We had two guys on base with one out. We had a batter, Gabe Torres, a young freshmen, who hit a line drive that Bryce Milligan caught. He was able to get a double play. If that shot goes through, it will probably land up being a standup triple. Gabe's a pretty fast kid and the two guys on are fast kids. We could have won the game, but it was a great play by Milligan.
“Ignacio Chavez pitched the entire first game. He did a wonderful job on the mound.”
The Socorro JV won the shortened second game 7-6 in six innings called because of the two hour game rule.
“Actually, we scored the winning run in that last inning. All my boys did great, because we're a young JV with eighth graders and freshmen and a couple of sophomores. We're playing varsity teams. We played Pecos and Magdalena's varsity. I think our JV has an up and coming future.”
