Softball: CdM gets revenge against Newport, 3-2
CORONA DEL MAR - After the novelty of having a softball team wore
off, Corona del Mar High’s softball team went out and shocked Back Bay
rival Newport Harbor, 3-2, in a nonleague game Tuesday.
In their previous meeting, the Sailors destroyed the Sea Kings, 15-3, but
the rematch was a completely different story. Freshman Alissa Zoelle
pitched a complete game for CdM (3-5), scattering seven hits and holding
Newport (6-4) to two runs.
The visiting Sailors took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Kristen
Smith singled in Athena Vasquez.
But CdM took the lead for good by scoring all three of its runs in the
third inning. Amy Tyson led off with a single, and Zoelle, who went 2 for
3 at the plate, doubled to put two runners in scoring position. Mijanou
Pham then singled both of them home, and a ground out by Lauren Loe
scored Pham.
Newport got its second run in the fifth when Lindsay Moore came in on a
fielder’s choice, but it could not score again as the Sailors stranded 13
runners on base. Kim Moore pitched a complete game for Newport.
