With a pair of 15-0 wins last weekend, the Vaqueros made it through the crossover portion of their schedule without giving up a run to a team from the Northern 3A West Division. This week, they will begin to see how they stack up against the rest of the Northern 3A East.
The Vaqueros host Lowry in a three-game series with a single game at 3 p.m. Friday and a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. Saturday. Each of the Northern 3A East teams play their first league game this week, and all six of them went undefeated in crossover games against teams from the West.
Fernley did it with six shutouts, running their streak to seven consecutive games without allowing a run.
Fernley beat the Debbie Smith CTE Academy 15-0 on Friday then beat Wooster 15-0 on Saturday.
Friday, it was Emma Masters in the pitcher’s circle. She went four innings with 10 strikeouts, one walk and allowed one hit.
The Vaqueros had 15 hits as a team. Janessa Robinson and Bella Leija both got two hits. Leija also drove in three runs, while Masters, Ximena Rodriguez and Taylor Tollestrup all drove in two. Lauren Smith scored three runs and both Rodriguez and Leija crossed the plate twice.
Saturday it was Robinson’s turn in the circle. She also allowed only one hit, with six strikeouts and no walks in three innings.
Masters hit a two-run home run and Tollestrup hit a grand slam to lead the attack at the plate. Smith, Robinson and Tollestrup all had three hits.
Offensively we had a slow start against Debbie Smith, but made the necessary adjustments to finish the game with good at-bats,” coach Diane Chapin said. “Saturday we hit good throughout the lineup.”
