Coming out on top in the last two Trans-Valley League games of the season, Escalon’s JV baseball boys completed their second consecutive 20-win campaign. Head coach Ken Baptista said the team defeated Hilmar on the road Tuesday and came back to win at home Wednesday, ending the season with a 20-2 record. Following up on a 20-7 season last year, that gave the sophomore boys on the team a two-year 40-9 mark and was the first time in several years, said Baptista, that the team had back-to-back 20 win seasons.
