Damian is a solid player that you have to make your shots to beat him, and Anthony gave him a battle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other singles action, Will Hoskins beat Wyatt Gatlin 6-1, 6-1 in first singles, and Leland Pike defeated Guy Kaphart 6-3, 6-4 in third singles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWill played great,\u201d Hart said. \u201cLeland battled a cold and had just enough to win. He was a zombie on the ride home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needing to win at least one of the two doubles matches to take the match, the Mustangs ended up winning both. Nalu Johnson moved up from second doubles to join Jasiah Pike for the Mustangs\u2019 6-4, 6-0 victory over Erik Alcontrar and Migkel Marron in first-doubles action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luis Pamatz and Olivia Ruiz blanked Eddy Alvarez and Carlos Valdivia 6-0, 6-0 in second doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe needed a doubles win and Nalu moved up to play with Jasiah,\u201d Hart said. \u201cAfter they settled down, they took control and played strong. Olivia played with Luis (in second doubles) and they were strong together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Hart, \u201cAnderson Valley is well coached and tough. This was a good win against adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Middletown meets Cloverdale for the first time this season on Thursday at the Hidden Valley Lake Courts. The Mustangs remain home Friday to take on their closest pursuer in the North standings, the Kelseyville Knights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mustangs overcome injury, illness to beat Anderson Valley 4-1 on the road Lake County Sports on Facebook BOONVILLE &gt;&gt; Anderson Valley\u2019s Damian Eligio and Middletown\u2019s Anthony Lopez played the match of the day Monday afternoon as the undefeated Mustangs notched a 4-1 Coastal Mountain Conference North victory at Anderson Valley High School in Boonville.
