Freshman pitcher Joette Vega pitched all seven innings and only had three hits, as the Long Beach City College softball team won 5-0 against visitor Compton College.
Vega improved from her last appearance against Chaffey College, where she had eight hits and two runs.
“I need to limit my ball count for my next game but other than that I’m prepared to go,” Vega said.
Freshman outfielder Yazmin Zendejas was the first to run it home for the Vikings, as she was the only one with two runs in the game.
Freshman infielder Jade Wittman has been a trustworthy player the whole season, she increases her running record to 22.
The Tartars were having trouble the entirety of the game, sophomore pitcher Cristina Valladares had eleven hits in total.
“I’m just not putting my time in for my team, it’s all about improvement for me,” Valladares said.
According to Head Coach Megan Martinez, the Vikings need to be more aggressive offensively, as the team had missed opportunities to run it home more.
The Vikings previously won against the Tartars earlier in the season 10-8, but the win did not boast Head Coach Martinez.
“We play every game like we’re in the championship, are previous wins against the team does not affect the way we play,” Martinez said.
The Vikings increase their overall record to 18-15, and 9-9 in the South Coast Conference.
The Vikings are set to play Citrus College next, this will be the first time this season the Vikings will be playing Citrus, the game will be on April 8 at 2 p.m.
