On Sunday, the Gauchos had a double-header against the Youth Service 14-and-under team, the Parade Ground Spring League champions. In the first game, Jimenez doubled in two runs in the last inning to give the Gauchos a 7-6 win. The game featured excellent pitching from Jesus Velazquez (St. Raymond’s H.S.)and Erik Torres (Cardinal Hayes H.S.). Service had a runner on second with two outs when Juan Dominguez (Xaverian H.S.) made an outstanding defensive play at second to end the game. In the nightcap, the Gauchos scored 3 in the first with Joe Tellez (St. Raymond’s H.S.) getting a big hit and held on to win, 5-3, with Jimenez coming in to close out the game and get the save.
