Prep Roundup: Spencer, Falcons win thriller
Austin Spencer helped the Falcons walk-off, then walked off with the River City Classic's MVP honors.
The River Valley High baseball infielder went 3 for 3 with five RBIs, including a two-RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to lift the Falcons to a 6-5 win over River City.
It marked the first tournament win in school history, coach Billy Rollins said, and it came after a rousing comeback. The Falcons were down 5-1 entering the sixth inning.
Also helping the cause was freshman TJ Dove, who went 3 for 4 with two doubles and pitched the final three innings in relief to pick up the win.
Cameron Olson and Robert Hudson were named all-tournament selections for the Falcons (12-7).
Marysville 6, Red Bluff 0
Though he was making his first start since the Indians' season-opener, Cody Childers pitched like a veteran member of the rotation, coach Jay DeAlba said.
Childers scattered five hits over seven innings and the Indians started strong with a opening-round win in the Shasta Lake Bass Tournament.
Steven Arostegui was 3 for 3 with two RBIs and Chad Perry went 2 for 3 for the Indians (13-4).
Sutter 3, Whitney 1
With two outs and two runners on, Lucas Cryer sent a shot a up the middle to drive in two runs in the seventh inning to provide the game-winning runs for Sutter at the Shasta Lake Tournament.
The Huskies went scoreless for six innings before Phillip Robledo drove in Morgan Osgood on a groundout to spark the scoring.
Tyler Larsen went the distance on the mound. He struck out seven and allowed five hits for Sutter (12-2, 5-1), which will face Steven Perry and Maxwell today. Maxwell defeated Shasta 3-0 in the nightcap thanks to a two-hitter tossed by Tyler Wells.
Perry takes his four consecutive no-hitters into a showdown against Sutter. Perry needs one more no-hitter to set the state record.
"We're really excited to face them," said Sutter coach Mark Renfree.
GIRLS SOCCER
Marysville 2, Golden Sierra 0

Sophomore Alondra Lomeli provided in an assist while playing in her first varsity game. Fellow 10th grader Haley Hudspeth also added an assist for the Indians (3-7-3).
The Indians' JV team tied the Grizzlies 1-1. Amber Eason scored Marysville's goal and Haley Adams had the assist for the Indians (1-9-1).

Folsom 10, River Valley 1
