MODESTO – Adam Macko earned his second pro win in the Modesto Nuts 9-3 win over the Visalia Rawhide at John Thurman Field on Thursday night.

After a scoreless first, Adam Macko (W, 2-0) walked two and surrendered an RBI double. The Nuts (15-6) starter issued a lead off walk in the third that would eventually score with the help of an error before another RBI double added a run for the Rawhide (5-16). From there, Macko was dominant. The lefty struck out the next four batters in a row on his way to ten Ks and the league lead in strikeouts with 37.

The Nuts’ offense came firing out of the gates scoring five runs in the first inning against Rawhide starter Justin Martinez (L, 0-2). Cade Marlowe singled home a run before he stole home as part of a double steal. Cesar Izturis Jr. added a two-run double before Ty Duvall capped the first inning scoring with an RBI single. Justin Martinez lasted just 0.2 innings pitched for Visalia.

Robert Perez Jr. added an RBI single in the second inning. The Nuts plated two runs in the third. Victor Labrada, who reached four times, drove home a run with an RBI single in the fourth.

After Macko, the Nuts’ bullpen was lights out. The combination of Kelvin Nunez, Matthew Willrodt, and Nolan Hoffman worked four innings without allowing a hit while striking out seven.

The Nuts look for their second straight win in game four of the six-game set with the Rawhide at John Thurman Field on Friday night.

Enochs Junior running back Aiden Muhammad ran for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns, and the Enochs defense kept the Central Valley High School offense shut down for most of the game in a 31-6 Enochs victory at Dan Gonzales Field in the CVTV Prep Game of the Week.

Enochs Junior Running Back Aiden Muhammad shakes off a defender for a big gain on his way to 184 rushing yards. Enochs won the game, 31-6.

Muhammad got started early against Central Valley, scoring twice by halftime, one by catching a 9-yard pass from Senior QB Adam Amman. Amman completed only 4 passes all game, but 3 of those went for touchdowns. It was that kind of night, as Enochs reached halftime with a 28-0 lead.

The second half mostly showcased each team’s defense, the two exceptions being a touchdown drive by Central Valley in the 3rd, capped by a nice catch and run by Anthony Ramirez from 32 yards out. Senior kicker Jordan Rogers converted a 40-yard field goal to close out the scoring.

Senior Kicker/Punter Jordan Rogers scores 3 for Enochs with a 40-yard field goal. The Eagles won the game 31-6 over Central Valley High.

The loss drops Central Valley, who was coming off a thrilling win against Ceres last week, to 1-3. Both Central Valley and Enochs(2-2) head into their bye weeks with contests against Golden Valley and Oakdale respectively next Friday.
