Coyotes get series win

After having to deal with adversity he has never seen before, Madera Coyote baseball coach Andy Underwood was more than pleased to see his team battle back to score four runs in the sixth inning for a 7-4 season finale victory over crosstown rivals Madera South.

Behind the right arm and bat of Nick Martinez, the Coyotes battled back from a 4-2 deficit to score the final five runs of the game for the victory Friday night.
