Cady Haskell recorded the win for the San Marcos girls softball team on Wednesday, taking advantage of the Royals’ healthy offensive output in a 17-7 mercy-rule victory over Bishop Diego.
Haskell struck out four and didn’t allow a walk in a complete game performance.
A bulk of San Marcos’ production came from the No. 2 through No. 5 hitters, who combined to go 10-for-12.
Emily Mason led the Royals at the plate, going 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Jocelyn Flattery had two triples, two runs scored and three RBIs of her own.
No. 7 hitter Scarlet McIntosh came through with two big hits, including a two-run single in the first inning that capped the Royals’ five-run first. Her fifth-inning triple scored Chelsea Friedman to make it 17-7 and trigger the mercy rule.
Friedman went 1-for-2 in her first varsity game after just picking up the sport this last year.
San Marcos resumes its rained-delayed matchup with Santa Barbara Thursday on the Royals’ field.
