The Topper baseball team won both games of the doubleheader played Saturday against the Espanola Sundevils in Espanola. The games were largely uneventful as the Sundevils are struggling this year, and have won only one game. On the other hand, the Toppers have won all but one district game this season and over powered the Sundevils. The second game started with Antonio Gonzales hitting a home run in the first inning. Here he is rounding 3rd base and being congratulated by head coach Bryan Neal. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
