Freshman Hannah Harris turned in a five-strikeout, complete game victory for the Dos Pueblos girls softball team on Saturday against Lompoc, leading the Chargers to a seventh-place finish at the Susan Manlet Tournament with a 9-6 win.
In the day’s first game, DP was shut down by Westlake 6-0.
“We didn’t bring our A-game and they did,” said Chargers head coach Donn Roberts, still pleased with his team’s showing considering the top-flight field.
Andria Castagnola still drew praise from her coach because of a strong six innings on the mound and added a single at the plate.
Against Lompoc, Dos Pueblos sunk into a 2-6 deficit after the Braves posted two straight 3-run innings in the fourth and fifth. The Chargers answered back with a 6-run bottom half of the fifth.
Marisa Radeke and Natalie Waugh both smacked two-run doubles in the inning – two of DP’s five hitsin the fifth.
Waugh, who added another double, and Shelli Sibbert each had three hits in four at-bats. Harris went 2-for-3 while striking out five batters in her second complete game of the season.
Roberts said sophomore catcher Mallory Meyer had a great game. Meyer threw out two baserunners, added a hit on offense and caught a good game for Dos Pueblos (3-3).
The start time on Dos Pueblos’ Tuesday game against Righetti, originally scheduled for 3:30 p.m., has been moved to 5 p.m.
