Friday, on the road

It seemed like everybody left town on Friday, with CHS & LHS baseball & softball varsities all on the road.
But the Santa Maria Saints were in town to take on the Braves @ the COLAC.

Softball


Lompoc
The Carrillo express kept rolling through the LPL as the Braves defeated Santa Maria 2-0. Jeana Carrillo pushed her scoreless inning streak to 28, allowed 3 hits, struck out 4 and walked none. The defense behind her was solid - only 1 error, and Dana Campitelli had 13 assists. Offensively, the Braves had just 3 hits, but two of them were doubles by Shandee Berryman & Carrillo. Lompoc also drew 4 walks. The Braves are now a game over .500 for the season (9-8) and in the LPL (4-3) with 5 league games remaining, and are currently tied with Cabrillo for third place. They host 2nd place St. Joseph (11-8, 5-2) on Tuesday. [Story]
JV After a very dissapointing 5-1 loss to Cabrillo, the Braves took out their frustrations on Santa Maria - blasting them 16-0 in a five inning affair at LHS. Against Cabrillo, Lompoc committed three crucial errors which led to four of the Conquistador runs, and only collected three hits. That was not the case versus the Saints. As Coach Eva Luna put it - "everybody did something positive today". She did, however, mention the fine pitching performance of Megan Maddock who carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a bloop single.

Cabrillo {Report from new LLR Correspondent Dan Aldridge}
Cabrillo Varsity softball got back on track Friday afternoon, defeating Santa Ynez 6-3.

The Conqs struck for 3 runs in the top of the first inning, another in the second inning. They were then kept in check and didnʼt score in the next four innings. When things looked to get a little close, Cabrilloʼs bats came back to life to score 2 more runs in the top of the seventh. Five conqs had two hits a piece: Shelby Kuhlman (2 RBIʼs), Kristina Goodchild (RBI), Alyssa Abayari (RBI), Bethany Radabaugh, Kelly Brown.

On defense, Kiley Shae Aldridge made her LPL debut after several weeks of shoulder rehab. The southpaw had 4 strikeouts in the first three innings and faced only 9 batters with the help of a double play of a line drive to shortstop Kuhlman who caught the runner off first base who reached earlier on an error.

In the fourth inning the Pirates struck for a run. After a ground out, 2 walks, and another groundout, the pirates had runners on 2nd & 3rd. Santa Ynez put in a pinch hitter, #2, who lined a shot up the middle. The first run scored and the second rounded third and charged home. Miranda Fernandez charged the ball hard in centerfield and came up throwing. Fernandezʼs throw was a strike to Radabaugh at the plate to place the tag for the 3rd out of the inning.

Adrianna Segura came on in relief in the fifth inning. Segura kept the Pirates down, allowing one run in the sixth and one in the seventh before completing the save.

Cabrillo (11-8, 4-3) hosts the Santa Maria Saints (6-17, 1-6) on Tuesday, and travel to 'Rock City' to take on the Morro Bay Pirates (12-8, 3-3) on Friday.

In the eighth inning at Santa Ynez, Kevin Harman's single drove in Ryan McGinty to take the lead against the Pirates. Thomas Lee's single scored Deuce Galvan for the capper. Galvan had hit a solo home run in the fifth.
Zach Pecyna (2 RBI, 4 assists), and Kevin Harmon (3-5, dbl, run, RBI) also played well.

Although the Conquistadores out-hit Santa Ynez 14-7, the Pirates won the long ball competition with home runs by Evan Soliman (2nd inning, 3 runs) & Tyler Lowry (4th inning, 3 runs).


Lompoc
At Elks Field, the Braves survived a late rally from the Santa Maria Saints and held on to win 13-12. The final out was recorded as Rodrigo Jimenez tried to extend his bases-clearing double into a triple and was thrown out at third base. Lompoc had big days offensively from Scotty Aguailar [3-3, 2 walks, 2 RBI, 3 runs, 3 stolen bases] and Dalton Rouleau [4-4, triple, walk, 4 runs, 3 stolen bases]. Chris Mallory (2-2) has an amazing four stolen bases. The Braves, now 9-11 (5-2 LPL) host St. Joseph on Tuesday before traveling to Dos Pueblos on Friday for a non-league match-up.
