El Rancho baseball hits harder than the Sopranoes

These Dons are whacking one foe after the next. Boy, that sounds very ‘Sopranos.’

That would be the baseball Dons of El Rancho, whom I’m talking about, not the baseball-bat wielding Dons of North Jersey.

Anyway, something good is bubbling up at El Rancho, which is off to one of its best starts in years at 6-0, compared to a 3-3 start after six games last season.

The Dons have swept the Montebello tournament, then took out tough Montebello and Santa Fe teams, and have outscored opponents 44-15.

Marcus Aldecoa (two homers and 11 RBI) and Aaron Flores (.455 average and four doubles) have sparked the offense while Chris Villalobos is a legit ace with three wins and 32 strikeouts in 21 innings. So there, now you know why these Dons are playing like good fellas.

Um, I should go now.
