Brawley, Holtville baseball cap off Petco Park day with thriller

The Wildcats and Vikings finished San Diego play with a comeback win from Brawley

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Brawley baseball (7-8) took down Holtville (5-11) 6-4 at Petco Park on Thursday night. 

Initially, it looked like Thursday’s game would be all Vikings.

Holtville got on the board with an RBI single from junior Matthew Pacheco in the bottom of the first. 

The Vikings would then add three more runs to take a 4-0 lead, causing Brawley pitcher Bryan Vitral to come in for starter Sergio Garcia. 

Despite the deficit, Brawley was able to mount a comeback. 

Not scoring until the top of the third, eventually senior Matthew Gutierrez would come through with a go ahead two-run single.

Then it would be all Vitral from there, as the junior threw six shutout innings to clinch the victory.
