BR keeps streak alive

The Bear River major Angels traveled to Nevada City's Pioneer Park on Wednesday night where they put their seven game win streak on the line.

Nevada City manager Dennis Houlihan called on Justin Houlihan who pitched well for five innings until he hit his maximum pitch count. BR broke the game open on a two out bases loaded single by Dean Hopper in the top of the fourth to move the score to 5-2. Scott Sandstedt had two doubles and Jordan Elliott hit a one hopper off the left field fence. Mason Giordano and Dylan Sinclair also singled for the BR Angels. Fenton was relieved by Ryan Solomon and Sandstedt closed out the game. Owen Dalbon played a strong game from behind the plate for Bear River.
