Willits erupts early and holds on for a 6-1 win over Tomales
Willits came out swinging and put up four runs in the first inning. That early burst set the tone for the whole game.
The Warriors—some folks just call them Willits—held the lead with strong defense and clutch hitting. They finished it off with a 6-1 win over the Tomales Braves.
Willits now sits at 4-5 for the year, with a 1-2 league record. Fans in Marin and Mendocino counties kept tabs on a packed North Bay baseball slate.
For Tomales, it was a rough night. The Braves dropped to 7-4 overall, losing their second straight.
Their offense managed just one run, their lowest of the year. Even so, Tomales got players on base and showed a bit of that signature Braves grit against tough competition.
Local fans from San Rafael to Sausalito, and even Mill Valley and Tiburon, followed the score as part of a busy North Bay spring.
Notable performances and the box score highlights
Two players popped on the stat sheet, but others chipped in for Tomales. Here’s what stood out on the field, plus a few thoughts on how the Bay Area baseball crowd might see it:
- Lucas Alves went 1-for-2 and swiped three bases. That speed has folks from San Anselmo to Fairfax talking about Willits’ aggressive style.
- Andrew Lomeli got on base twice, scored a run, and snagged a base too. He helped create chances for Tomales, even if they only cashed in once.
- Three Tomales players picked up hits, showing a balanced approach at the plate, even in a loss.
Tomales has hit a tough patch lately, including a 7-1 loss to Sonoma Academy. Their recent opponents have a combined winning percentage around 66%, which says a lot about the North Bay schedule’s strength this season.
Looking ahead: where the teams go from here
Friday brings more road games, and both teams are looking to build some momentum. In Marin County, that means trips to familiar fields—places where fans pack the stands in Sausalito, Larkspur, and Novato, then look ahead to Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.
Here’s what’s next:
- Tomales at Technology at 4:00 p.m. on Friday
- Willits at Sonoma Academy at 5:30 p.m. on Friday
If you live anywhere along Highway 101 or in the wider North Bay, you know the drill: late-season baseball, road trips, and a chance to watch these athletes under the lights as spring stretches on. That’s what keeps folks coming back, right?
