West High’s girls collected 10 hits Friday in a home game against the McNair Eagles for their second win of the week.
The win puts the Wolf Pack at 4-0 in the Tri-City Athletic League and 15-6 overall, with Wednesday’s upcoming home game against Tokay marking the end of the league season’s first half.
Andi Anderson got the win Friday, pitching six innings, and Madison Hargraves finished off the seventh. Combined, they allowed just three hits.
The top hitters for West were Elida Rubio and Ashley Cox, each with two base hits and a triple. Jill Anastasio had two base hits as well, and Jamie Costa hit a double. West 11, Edison 0
Anderson had a perfect game going for three innings on Thursday, and while that didn’t hold up, the Wolf Pack’s pitching was exceptionally hard to hit. Madison Hargraves gave up a double in the fifth for Edison’s only hit of the game, but West caught that player in a rundown between third base and home.
Anderson had three strikeouts and credited the defense with keeping runners off base: “Our defense is the best right now, and our hitting is right next to it, but we keep getting better every game.”
Hargraves added that defense will be West’s strength going into the rest of the league season.
“I don’t feel pressure because I know they’re behind me,” she said. “We have to take it one game at a time. We just have to stay focused and keep our heads in the game.”
Rubio led at the plate for West with three triples, Ashley Tornio doubled and singled, and Miranda Gannon had two hits. Bear Creek 7, Tracy 4
In spite of 10 base hits for the Bulldogs, Tracy still ended up with a loss Friday in Stockton in San Joaquin Athletic Association play. The Bruins scored in every inning but the fifth and had nine hits.
Tracy pitcher Stephanie Fisher was successful at the plate with four base hits, including a double and an RBI. Taylor Martinez and Latoya Whiten also had two base hits each.
The loss puts Tracy at 8-11, 2-1 in the SJAA, with its next game Tuesday against Lodi at the Tracy Sports Complex. Sophomores: Kimball 5, West 4
The rivalry between the Kimball and West softball teams came down to the seventh inning Friday at Veterans Park after the Jaguars (14-2-1, 2-0 TCAL) broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth and West (18-4, 3-1 TCAL) threatened to take the game away with the bases loaded in the seventh.
With the score tied 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Kimball’s Alexis Lopez bunted to bring in Anisha Richardson, and Kylie Greenup doubled down the left-field line to bring in Lopez.
With one out in the top of the seventh, West got a runner on base but Kimball’s defense stepped up. Julia Ramirez hit one toward left field, only to see Kimball shortstop Marissa Greenhaw make a diving catch for the second out.
“I really wanted it, so I had to dive for it,” Greenhaw said. “They’re our only competition in the league … so we do good against them.”
West followed with a base hit from Celena Carrisosa, plus a walk to load the bases and a batter hit by a pitch to bring in a run. But the drama ended when relief pitcher Lopez struck out the last batter to seal the win.
Katie Hanville pitched the first five innings for Kimball, striking out five and allowing three runs. Greenhaw pitched 11/3 innings and got the win, and Lopez pitched for Kimball for the last two outs for the save.
Hanville hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Breanna Reyes got a base hit in the third and scored on an infield error.
Kacey Cota pitched for West. Miranda Herrera tripled in the second to drive in Kota, who had singled. Carrisosa scored again for West to lead off the third and went 3-for-4 for the day, and Jalissa Sims doubled in the fifth to bring in West’s third run.
Baseball West 4, Stagg 3
Sloppy defense allowed the Delta Kings from Stagg High to make Friday’s makeup game at West High a close contest for the Wolf Pack. The 4-3 win for West included two unearned runs for the Kings, who had four hits for the day while West racked up five errors in the field.
The Kings had a 2-0 lead before West got on the scoreboard in the second inning, and the Wolf Pack bats finally got down to business in the fourth to score three runs.
Jesse Hernandez started for West and gave up two hits over three innings. Taylor Kruger got the win after he came in for the fourth inning and allowed only two more hits for Stagg.
Jacob Lopez led at the plate with three base hits, including a triple, while Jordan Devencenzi doubled and Jason Thomassen also had a base hit.
The win puts West at 11-9, 1-2 in TCAL with the team’s next game set for Tuesday against Edison, unless teams can reschedule for Monday when better weather is predicted. A makeup game against Stagg yet to be scheduled. Tracy 17, Bear Creek 4
Tracy High’s varsity baseball team took a mercy-rule win Friday at Bear Creek after a solid three-run first inning and an 11-run second inning.
Kyle Moses, Ricky Diaz and Alex Flores combined on the mound to give up two hits, with starting pitcher Moses getting the win.
Coach Vic Alkire said he got everyone into the lineup. Tanner Turner led the Bulldogs with two base hits, including a triple and two RBIs. Jake Shull tripled, while Brandon Jossey and Robert Emerson each got a hit and each batted in two.
Tracy’s record is now 13-6-1, 5-3 SJAA, with a makeup game tentatively scheduled for Tuesday at home against Bear Creek and a regularly scheduled game Wednesday at Franklin in Stockton.
