NOTES AND QUOTES for a Tuesday in the Napa Valley:

Bob Freschi got on the phone when he heard that Mike Taylor, one of his former players at Napa Valley College, was out of baseball.

Justin-Siena High School broke a three-game losing streak Tuesday, scoring six runs in an explosive third inning on the way to an 11-1 Marin County Athletic League softball win over San Rafael.

Chase Chasey had a rough afternoon on the mound Tuesday, allowing six runs on six hits, three walks and three hit batters. The Crushers lost their fifth straight Monticello Empire League game, falling 8-1 against Davis.

Playing without the entire starting left side of your infield will affect almost any baseball team, and the Braves were no exception Tuesday. It took them all of 3 1/2 innings to start flourishing shorthanded.
