Vigilantes Fall to Sonoma County

John Casey had a two-out, run-scoring single in the ninth inning to break a tie and give Sonoma County a 5-4 victory over the Vigilantes in a Western League baseball game Monday at Saddleback College.

Sonoma County (4-1) scored a run in the eighth to take a 4-0 lead but Mission Viejo (2-4) got four in the bottom of the inning.

Phil Kernan had a two-run single and Michael Moore and Manny Gagliano also drove in runs with single in the Vigilantes’ eighth.

Steve Ashley started the ninth for Sonoma County by reaching on an error by third baseman Sam Voita, who had just entered the game. Ashley went to second and third on groundouts before scoring on Casey’s second hit of the game.
