On a sunny but cool day at Acalanes Tuesday afternoon, Benjy Braunstein (jr) scattered 7 hits across 7 innings, and rode a 6 run 3^rd inning from his offense to pickup the win.  It was the first complete game of the season for the Dons.  Benjy’s defense was very solid for the most part, including a great diving stop by Brady Huchingson (sr), who stopped a hard hit grounder diving to his left and made the throw in time to first to rob the Benicia player of a sure hit. Ethan Rowland (jr) also made a nice stop at 3^rd base in the top of the 3^rd inning and recovered in time to rob another hit.

On the offensive side of the ball the Dons had 8 hits including 2 by Huchingson and 1 each by Burleigh, Bergman, Heyman, Souza, McPhail, and Cusumano.  Interestingly though, the Dons 6 run outburst in the 3^rd inning featured a bunt single, 3 hit batters, 5 walks, and a sac fly.  Very unusual.

Next up for the Dons is Benicia away on Thursday, and a 3 game series vs Clayton Valley next week.
