the Braves try to not think about who’s chasing them This league is filled with it,” he said after personally improving to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the VVAL Messenger struck out two in the first inning thanks to the play of infielders Spencer Nelson Charlie Im and Noah Giovannelli and outfielders Xiano Ortega he allowed only two base runners — Franco Bernardini on a two-out double in the fifth inning that broke up his bid for a perfect game and leadoff hitter Jack Mountanos on a two-out walk in the sixth “There was talent everywhere on this field today and I had to respect that — and they have to respect my talent as well,” Messenger said Messenger said he tried to treat it like any old day at the office I have the same mental set-up for each team,” he said There’s no strings attached to any game I play I know my team’s got my back no matter where I’m at It’s obviously a contagious brotherhood here that can’t be beat Our motto this year is ‘one bite at a time,’ and I can change that to whatever I want — one bite at time whose spot in the batting lineup was filled by designated hitter Jake Fletcher After Casa Grande starter Brady Laubscher retired the Braves in order in the first inning Giovannelli led off the bottom of the second with his team-high eighth double of the season When Xiano Ortega laid down a sacrifice bunt to try to get him to third the first baseman fielded it and had to throw hard and quickly to get the speedy Giovannelli so far into the left-field corner that Giovannelli scored and Ortega got to third himself Tayson agreed that a team as good as Casa Grande (15-5 whose program has finished first or second every year in the VVAL But he said the Braves made their own luck "We’ve been working really hard on getting consistent at putting teams on the defense and that’s certainly been paying dividends for us," he said "Xiano gets a great bunt down there at the right time and Noah is just a plus-plus base runner and made them pay both times He scored two of our three runs by putting pressure on them.” Henry Meyers then singled to left on a 1-2 pitch to drive in Ortega and make it 2-0 but Laubscher retired the next two batters to end the rally Fletcher and Nelson had two-out base hits in the third and fourth but were stranded After a 1-2-3 fifth by Gauchos reliever Miles Nicholas the Braves finally padded their lead off second

stranded and Messenger retires fellow starting pitcher Brady Laubscher in Napa on April 29 Meyers was intentionally walked to get to Nelson who made the Gauchos pay by smacking the first pitch up the middle for an RBI single and 3-0 lead “Noah has always been the hardest worker on the team and he and Spencer did their jobs with flying colors today," Messenger said "They’re always good sports when things don’t go their way It’s really great to have those guys in the clubhouse Messenger gave up 25 hits and 23 free passes in 27 2/3 innings in 2024 This year he’s allowed 30 hits and 16 free passes but in 50 2/3 innings allowing just 6 earned runs for an ERA of .83 “The reason I was a reliever last year is mainly because we had such studs on the mound in front of me “But my arm really wasn’t back up to full strength after I had surgery my freshman year and my mentality today comes from what they set up for me last year.” Tayson said he expected the game to be low-scoring and quick “You’ve got two good pitchers on the mound and two largely successful baseball programs so I figured we’d be out of here before dinner I was certainly anticipating it to be a pitchers’ duel." There’s still a lot of intense baseball to be played by the Braves in their last three league games They travel to Casa Grande on Thursday before finishing with two next week against American Canyon which handed Casa Grande its first loss this season “We’re going to come back with the same energy Thursday,” Messenger said The Braves lost their last three league games in 2024 — the second one against Casa Grande and both against an American Canyon club that ended up beating them out for the fourth and final spot in the VVAL playoffs they won five straight playoff games after that including one for the North Coast Section Division 4 title But another win over the Gauchos would clinch the Braves’ first VVAL title in the league’s six-year history “Like I’ve been saying for a number of days and weeks but it doesn’t get any easier,” Tayson said “We’re just trying to embrace it one bite at a time “One of the core values in our program is consistency so I think we’re always striving to be more consistent with our demeanor Consistency is something we’re all searching for Nelson not only will take the mound with a pennant on the line in front of what’s sure to be a large Casa Grande crowd Thursday but the Williams Jessup University commit will also be part of a multi-student signing ceremony in Clark Gym between classes on Friday He showed why he's NCAA Division II material as he led the Braves’ seven-hit attack with two base knocks and a sac bunt “I was a pretty good hitter in Little League and at St Helena (High) I was all right,” said Nelson “These coaches changed almost everything about my hitting — my approach and my mental game “I put the most work into my pitching craft but I’ve been in the batting cages a lot this offseason and in practice and it’s paying off for me pretty well so far “We come out here to practice every day like it’s a brand new opportunity and we’re 0-0 We put so much hard work in and we practice all the little details and it pays off in games “We like to come in thinking we’re the underdogs to everybody It gives us the type of motivation to come in and dominate Messenger set the table and so Nelson needs to take a bite “That dude was locked in from the start,” Nelson said I knew it was going to be a good one from him He was hitting his spots and he trusted his defense today but that was amazing pitching from him today We come out every Tuesday and Thursday and we pitch our butts off.” You can reach Sports Editor Andy Wilcox at andy.wilcox@napanews.com or 707-256-2220 Email notifications are only sent once a day Friends and
