Hannah Harris slaps a ball down the third-base line to reach base in the first inning.
Hannah Harris struck out 11 batters and allowed just two hits in Dos Pueblos’ home opener on Thursday, a 5-0 non-league victory over Cabrillo.
“It feels really good,” Harris said. “We were kind of nervous coming in because we have a lot of freshmen on the team and so we just kind of wanted to come out and do our best.”
Hannah Harris reached base leading off the game and gave way to pinch runner Buie Madison who scored DP's first run.
DP’s senior starting pitcher is the defending CIF Division 4 Player of the Year and has the Chargers off to a 2-1 start to their season. DP opens up Channel League play on Friday at San Marcos.
“We’ve progressed like a lot from the beginning of the season,” Harris said. “We only chose varsity a few weeks ago and the whole team has come together really well. The freshmen are stepping up a lot and they’re doing a great job.”
Chloe Madill and Haley Peterson provided two hits each to lead the offense. Madill’s hits were both doubles.
“They gave me a good pitch inside which is what I like,” Madill said of her first double. “They came to me in my second at-bat with the same pitch inside so I went for it.”
Madill’s first double scored Buie Madison in the first inning and Madill scored a run of her own on the third inning as the Chargers went up 2-0. DP added two more runs in the fourth inning.
