Garrett Giles’ bases-loaded walk powered Basic to a 2-1 home win over Rancho in nine innings. Basic scored in the second, Rancho scored in the fourth, and it remained tied until the ninth. Nick Thompson started for the Wolves and pitched 6 1/3 strong innings. Rancho starter Layton Walls went 6 2/3, and neither factored into the decision. Basic improved to 25-5 (15-4 Sunrise League), one game behind first-place Rancho (24-5, 16-3).
