San Marcos couldn’t get anything going against Carpinteria’s Catalina Maldonado on Friday, resulting in a 9-1 non-league victory for the Warriors.
Maldonado pitched a complete game with nine strikeouts while only giving up two hits and a walk.
“She was in total command throughout,” said Warriors head coach Henry Gonzalez, whose team improves to 10-7 on the season.
Carpinteria’s Myriah Diaz blasted a three-run home run in the second inning, making it nine RBIs for the catcher in the last two games.
San Marcos (6-11) returns to Channel League play next week with a pair against Dos Pueblos.
