Lompoc
Softball @ Best of the West Tournament
The Braves went 1-1 on day one, losing to powerhouse Madera 6-0 before exacting revenge on host Righetti by the same score. Brianna Vickery started the first game and pitched well according to Head Coach Al DeMaria, but mistakes and break-downs in other areas cost the team. For instance, Lompoc lost a run on a base running mistake when the runner failed to tag up at third base on a sacrifice fly to center. With Carillo on the mound for the second game, the Braves finally played the way the coaches have been hoping they would. They made the plays on defense, put the ball in play on offense, and in general forced the other team to make plays - which they didn't. [Story]
DeMaria was also pleased to see one of his former shortstops, then known as "Rusty" Osbourne coaching at the tournament. The only problem was that she remembered all his signals.
Lompoc plays two more games on Tuesday and, if they win both, will play for third place on Wednesday. They could face a long wait to find out, however. Their first game is at 9:00 am, and the second is at 7:00 pm if they win, 5:00 pm if they lose.
UPDATE: The Braves did not have a good day a the park, losing both games by a combined score of 15-0. They followed a 10-0 loss to Buchanan and 5-0 to Buena. They next play Santa Maria at 12:30 pm, and hope to exact revenge for the Saints win at Lompoc earlier this season.

Tuesday, against Aliso Niguel, they fell just short - losing 3-2. After giving up runs in both the 2nd & 3rd innings, they rallied to tie the game with two runs in the top of the sixth. Unfortunately, the Wolverines pushed across a run in the bottom half of the inning for the win.
