OCC drops 14-1 decision

COSTA MESA - Santa Ana pitcher Renee Hietbrink struck out seven and

allowed just one hit as the Dons recorded a 14-1 Orange Empire Conference

softball victory at Orange Coast.

Coast’s Renee Snyder had the only base hit, an RBI bunt single in the

fourth inning.

Meredith Miles, who needs just one stolen base to set Coast’s career

mark for thefts, had one chance after walking, but was caught for only

the second time this season.

She has 24 for the season and 40 in her career, which ties her with

Kim Degree and Carrie Grimson on the Pirates’ all-time charts.

The Pirates fall to 6-16-1, 1-14 in the OEC. The Dons improve to 21-9,

9-3.
