The Madera South Stallions baseball team found itself in a deficit before fans could get their seats warm, but battled back for a gritty 9-6 victory over the Hoover-Fresno Patriots at Eddie Chapa Field.

The Stallions took the lead, 4-2, after the second, but trailed, 5-4, after the third and had to battle to tie the game at six before scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning for the victory Friday evening.

The Stallions took advantage of six Hoover errors that led to six unearned runs. They also walked seven times and banged out seven hits.
