Colusa 2 – East Nicolaus 3 (4/28)
Colusa 0 – East Nicolaus 6 (5/1)
A series between the Sacramento Valley League’s top two teams ended in heartbreak for the RedHawks as they fell in both games to the Spartans.
On the road, Colusa outhit East Nicolaus 12-7 but also committed four errors in the field and struck out 12 times, which ultimately saw them come up just short in a bid to upend their longtime rivals.
Bella Romero turned in a herculean effort in defeat, going nine innings in the circle where she scattered six hits and did not yield an earned run, then went 3 for 5 at the plate with a double.
Peyton Miller and Marlie Berry both collected two hits apiece for the RedHawks, who scored both their runs in the seventh.
However, things were not so close three days later at home, as Spartan pitcher Kylah Glenn regained her command and no-hit the RedHawks, falling just a walk short of a perfect game.
This week is a busy one for Colusa, who hosted Woodland Christian and Pierce on May 4 and May 5 respectively before hitting the road to face Paradise on May 7 and Pierce on May 8.
