Top Bracket
Game #1: Cabrillo 16, Bishop Diego 0
The Conqs easily trounced a Cardinal team depleated by injuries and other problems. The BD pitcher was making her first ever appearance in the circle. Cabrillo got a 2 run homer from Gabi Palacios, a triple from Alex Pino, and doubles from Kelcie Jo Pecyna (2), Shelby Kuhlman, and Adriana Segura. Story
Game #2: Santa Barbara 8, Santa Maria 1
Regardless of the outcome, the Saints biggest loss came before the weekend, when pitching ace Deja Camacho injured her knee in one of the teams first scrimmages. Freshman Michaela Rucobo went 5 innings, and Sam Serna pitched the sixth. Rae Marruffo doubled and scored the run.
Game #3: Cabrillo 11, Santa Barbara 1
The barrage continued - led by Pecyna with a double and a triple.
Game #4: Santa Maria 13, Bishop Diego 3
Saints Head Coach Mia Iteralde was much more pleased with the offensive consistency and aggressiveness in game 2. Sam Serna gave up 3 runs in 6 innings and hit a double. Rae Marrufo went 4-5 at the plate.
Bottom Bracket
Game #5: Nipomo 6, Carpenteria 3
Game #6: Hueneme 4, Santa Ynez 1
Too many mistakes and not enough hitting. Adriana Garza was tapped for three runs (1 earned) in her four innings; Sam Kelly gave up one unearned run in her three innings of relief. The Pirates manufactured their lone run in the fourth.
Game #7: Nipomo 6, Hueneme 4 [8 Innings]
Tied up at 4 at the end of regulation, the Titans score 2 in the top of the 8th.
Game #8: Carpenteria 2, Santa Ynez 1
The Pirates couldn't buy a break. After frosh pitcher Hannah Snyder was victimized for runs in the 2nd & 6th, both abetted by errors, Santa Ynez had the bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom half of the sixth. Katie Manzer drilled a grounder down the third base line which hit the bag and bounded out of bounds. Should be at least tied - right ?
Well, two runners had crossed the plate and a third was chugging for home, when it was communicated to everybody that the plate umpire had called time out. What ? Turns out she was screened on the play by the runner at third, and thought that it was a foul ball. Because she called time (the softball equivalent of the NFL's inadvertent whistle), the play was dead at that point and all runners returned to their bases.
Manzer fouled off a number of pitches before drawing a walk to force in a run, but that was followed by two infield pop-ups, and (ironically) a routine grounder to third. Neither team could do anything in the seventh, and it ended 2-1.
