Ball powers San Marcos past Bishop Diego

Hannah Ball went 4-for-4, San Marcos erupted for six runs in the third inning en route to a 14-4 non-league softball win over Bishop Diego in game called after five innings because of the mercy rule.

Kristen Berlo had three hits and scored three times, and Emily Dietz added a pair of hits for the Royals (6-5).

Bishop Diego, which led by a run before San Marco’s eruption, was led by Annette Gonzalez with two doubles and Dani DeVries, who went 3-for-3 with a double.
