Here’s Stanislaus District fans’ pick as The Bee’s Boys Prep of the Week
For the second week in a row, a Turlock Christian baseball player was voted Player of the Week.
The Eagles have swept Vacaville Christian in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VII semifinals to secure a spot in the section title game. They got off to a hot start in the opening game of the series, securing a 13-5 win thanks in large part to the offensive production of Xavier Ruezga.
In the first game of a best-of-three series with a spot in the section championship on the line, the freshman came up big with a triple, four RBIs, two walks and scored two runs in the Game 1 win. The spark he provided for his team was noticed by the fans, who voted him The Bee’s Boys Player of the Week.
Ruezga came in first after earning 44% of the votes in the weekly poll. He finished ahead of Hughson baseball player Robert McDaniel and his teammate and last week’s winner, Gavin Farinha, who were second and third, respectively.
