Colusa 13 – Willows 1 (4/14)
Colusa 16 – Willows 0 (4/16)
Colusa found little resistance in a Sacramento Valley League series with Willows last week in a pair of run-ruled shortened games.
At home on April 14, RedHawk pitcher Bella Romero shutdown the Honkers going the full five innings where she struck out five.
At the plate, Peyton Miller went 2 for 4 with a triple and four RBI, while Cindel Oliver drove in a run as part of her 2 for 3 day.
Following up in Willows, Colusa pounded out 12 hits as they set the tone early, putting eight runs on the board in the first frame.
Braelyn Santana and Eli Quintana both doubled and picked up a pair of hits.
Santana also handled the pitching duties, striking out five and yielding just two hits.
This week generated some tougher competition for the RedHawks (12-6, 7-0) as they put their seven game win streak on the line in Susanville at the Lassen Tournament which runs April 24 and 25.
Pierce 14 – Esparto 4 (4/15)
Pierce 2 – Winters 15 (4/17)
Beginning last week with a non-conference victory over visiting Esparto, the Bears then suffered a loss to Sacramento Valley League rival Winters to make up a game that had been rained out.
At home against the Spartans, LucaBella Nolen had a big day at the plate going 3 for 4 with a double and five RBI, as did Rylie Delepierre, who finished 3 for 3 with a home run and two RBI.
Citlali Acevedo, Caley Dye and Frannie Sweet each had two hits.
In the circle, Dye went four innings scattering four hits, while Delepierre put in two innings of work in which she fanned four.
However, things didn’t go as well on the road in Winters as Pierce was limited to just three hits, a double by Acevedo and a hit apiece off the bats of Sweet and Madaline Corona.
Pierce (4-11, 0-5) made its way to Willows on Tuesday before completing the series with the Honkers in Arbuckle on Friday.
