Tomales’ Dominant Win Highlights Braves’ Offensive Prowess
This game felt like a coastal breeze—Tomales racked up 15 hits, their best of the season. Credo’s defense just couldn’t slow them down.
People in Mill Valley, Fairfax, and all over Marin County took notice of the Braves’ style: aggressive on the bases, patient at the plate, and a bullpen that kept the Gryphons guessing. The sun slipped behind the Tamalpais hills as Tomales kept piling it on.
The lineup didn’t rely on just one player. Several Braves stepped up, and their teamwork set the tone for a spring that’s looking pretty exciting for fans from Sausalito to Corte Madera.
It really was a group effort. The offense delivered clutch hits and got runners on base when it mattered most.

Pitching and Defense: Lopez and Alves Shine
On the mound, the Braves leaned on two dependable arms. Jorge Lopez tossed a scoreless inning with no hits allowed, keeping his streak alive—he hasn’t issued more than one walk in five straight outings.
Lucas Alves handled four innings and struck out six. He gave up three earned runs on four hits, a mix that forced Credo to play catch-up but never let the Gryphons close the gap.
Lopez led by example at the plate as well and went a perfect 3-for-3. He swiped two bases, knocked in three runs, and crossed the plate once, which just reinforces why Marin County scouts keep circling Tomales’ games on their schedules.
The combo of Lopez’s bat and his steady defense pops up at nearly every Braves game along Highway 1. Fans from towns like San Anselmo and Larkspur have started to take notice, following the Braves’ progress with a little extra interest these days.
Next up, the Tomales Braves head to Potter Valley for a 4:00 p.m. start on Tuesday. That’s a pretty good trek north, winding through Marin’s hills toward Mendocino County.
Meanwhile, Credo tries to end its losing streak at home against Technology on April 10 at 4:00 p.m. The Gryphons are hoping to turn things around, and you can bet folks in Marin and Sonoma counties will be watching closely.
From San Rafael’s neighborhoods to Belvedere’s waterfronts, Marin County still treats high school baseball like a community tradition. Tonight’s 13-3 win by the Tomales Braves just adds to the buzz, with families marking calendars, swapping stories at Novato coffee shops, and scouts from all over keeping an eye out for the next big Tomales moment as spring settles in along the coast.
