In a week where the top honor could have easily emerged from several spring sports athletes, the Oakdale High baseball team made it impossible to single out any individual. The team rallied behind tremendous pitching and timely hitting to complement flawless defense en route to back-to-back victories over previously unbeaten Manteca.

The crucial Valley Oak League wins were a huge step towards Oakdale’s goal for a conference title and set the table for a collective selection as Athlete of the Week, chosen by The Leader.
