Mobiles Break Through for First Win in Franchise History

MARYSVILLE, Calif. — The RedPocket Mobiles are officially in the win column. After several near-misses and hard lessons to open their inaugural Pioneer League season, RedPocket broke through Thursday night at Bryant Field with a 5–3 win over the Yuba-Sutter Freebirds. Marco Martinez gave the Mobiles an early spark with a solo home run in the second inning, and RedPocket added another run in the third when Raul Guillermo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, bringing home Maury Weaver for a 2–0 lead.

Yuba-Sutter tied the game in the bottom of the third, but RedPocket's pitching staff kept the Freebirds from taking control. Chase Martinez gave the Mobiles five strong innings, allowing two runs while striking out four, and Philip Sanders followed with two scoreless frames to keep the game tied into the late innings. The Mobiles then delivered the decisive rally in the seventh, starting with Spence Coffman's RBI single to left-center that scored Marquis Jackson and put RedPocket back in front. Justin Johnson followed with an RBI single of his own, and Josiah Chavez added another run-scoring single to stretch the lead to 5–2.

Yuba-Sutter pushed across one run in the eighth, but RedPocket finished the job. Billy Rozakis got the game to the ninth, and Wyatt Adams closed it with a scoreless final inning, working around two walks and striking out one to seal the first victory in Mobiles history. Chavez led the offense with three hits, Johnson added two hits and an RBI, and the defense played clean baseball behind a pitching staff that made the lead stand up. For a team built to spend the entire season on the road, win No. 1 arrived with resilience, late offense, and a whole lot to celebrate.
