Blauer on target, keeping Padres unbeaten

Chad Blauer was at the top of his game Saturday and the Padres used

that performance to stay unbeaten on the season as they scored a 5-2

victory over the Astros in Fountain Valley Youth Baseball Pony Division

action.

Blauer came back from an early 1-0 deficit by striking out 13 over

five innings of work. He surrendered just three hits, one of which was

Tyler Killian’s two-out single, which scored Jonathan Harada to give the

Astros their short-lived 1-0 lead.

The Padres struck back in the fourth inning with two runs behind Rory

Jones’ RBI single and a RBI by Justin Ballew.

In the sixth, they added an insurance run when Kyle Goodman singled

and scored on Erick Koon’s two-out double.

Ballew paced the Padres with two singles.

Thomas Stadfelt and Matt Hutchinson each singled for the Astros.
