Our Athletes of the Week are the Castro Valley 16U Legends Baseball Team. The team won two consecutive tournaments in the last few weeks. Their first tournament was the June 10-11 USSSA TPR Classic (Mistlin) Championship. The Legends got on the board in the second inning, scoring two runs when Isaiah Broadus singled. Diego Mares earned the win for CV Legends. The right-handed pitcher lasted six innings, allowing four hits and one run while striking out seven and walking one. Both teams were strong on the mound, but the Legends defeated Sacramento Sock Puppets 2-1. The second tournament was the June 23 NCS (Swing N Surf) Pismo Championship. Alex Nicol was the winning Pitcher for the Legends in the Semi-Finals. Nicol struck out three while only allowing 5 hits over 7 innings, throwing a complete game. Anthony Mares led the Legends with two hits on three at-bats and stole seven bases, along with Kyle Giomalvo stealing two bases and scoring. CV Legends collected 13 hits. Later that day, Anthony Mares threw a shutout against the KC Drillers, winning the championship game 8-0.
