The Ramona offense suffered only one “blemish” — in a manner of speaking. While Fallbrook needed just a single batter to score, the Dawgs needed two.

From then on, it was all Ramona, especially after Wilson stranded a pair of Fallbrook runners in scoring position with a strike out and a ground out.

In the second, two basehits and a walk loaded the bases with one out, but when the Warriors failed to turn an inning-ending double play, Colton Simpson and Zack Nightingale both scored.

An inning later, Hollopeter started a three-run rally with a double, scoring on a clutch, two-out double by Simpson for a 4-1 lead.

Moments later, Cal Melendez slugged a two-run homer to right field for a 6-1 cushion. For Melendez, the designated hitter, the home run was his fifth of the season, batting 2-for-3 to raise his average over the .30 plateau (at .313)/

With the victory, Ramona (16-6overall, 6-4 Avo) captured the series, going for the sweep in Friday’s finale in Fallbrook (3-19-1, 1-9).
