Freshman Bayleigh Fry helped pitch a dominant 18-0 shutout giving the Viking a nine game winning streak as the team beat East L.A. on Tuesday.
Fry pitched three innings allowing no hits and putting up three strikeouts.
“I’ve been doing way better. I’ve been having a lot more confidence. That’s been something I have been working on, I always have defense and the bats to help me,” Fry said.
Fry had a perfect game going until an error was made in the third inning allowing East L.A. to reach base.
The Vikings put the pressure on early as the team scored ten runs against a struggling East L.A. pitcher.
In the second inning the team added even more runs with a triple by Freshman Xiomei Geluz and a single by Freshman Robin Garia making the score 12-0.
The Vikings added to their lead in the third inning as Sophomore Julianna Rosas doubled to make the score 14-0.
Freshman pitcher Mariah Zapata came in for Fry in the fourth inning only allowing one hit and one walk.
In the bottom of the fourth inning the vikings took advantage of a pitching change made by East L.A. by loading the bases multiple times and scored four runs.
Sophomore Renee Sena scored on a ground out by teammate Julianna Rosas making the score 18-0.
“It’s a team win, it’s a team effort. All of our players from the bench to our starters do a good job and we have faith in our pitching and our hitting, ”director of softball operations Megan Martinez said.
With this win the Vikings would extend their conference record to 6-0 and their overall record to 15-4 as they will play L.A. Harbor at home on Thursday at 3 P.M.
