Afton 13, Charlotte Valley 8

AFTON – Afton won its 15th game of the season jumping on top of Charlotte Valley in the first inning and never looking back in a Section IV, Class D playoff matchup Wednesday.

“We hit the ball sharply, we stole bases, and we were aggressive in advancing when the ball scooted away from their catcher,” said Afton coach Ron Rapp. “Our baserunning really helped us today.”

Chris Anthony had three hits for Afton (15-5), Adam Rupakus had two hits and two RBI, and Victor Coronado finished with two hits, two stolen bases, and one RBI. “They were a pretty solid club and they snuck up on us,” Rapp said of Charlotte Valley. “(Charlotte Valley) was definitely no slouch.”
