Blackouts capture two victories

The South Huntington Beach Blackouts chalked up a pair of fastpitch

softball victories over the weekend as they beat Caliente, 6-5, and the

Rip-It-Chicks, 10-5.

In the first game, Shannon Peterson delivered the game-winning RBI in

the bottom of the seventh inning, lifting the Blackouts over Caliente.

Peterson also had a double in the contest.

Other key hits came from Josie Flores, who had two singles and an RBI,

a double by Loryn Kanemaru, and a Katie Hartwell single.

Kanemaru also came up big on defense, turning an unassisted double

play from her shortstop position, doubling up a runner at third after

catching a fly ball with the bases loaded.

Blackouts left fielder Amanda Gayle, catcher Emily Carr, and first

baseman Kimi Thompson also made inning-ending catches with Caliente

runners on base, and center fielder Allison Wyman came up with two key

stops.

Wyman showed her offensive muscle in the second game, getting a triple

and single in the 10-5 win over the Rip-It-Chicks. Kanemaru had a two-RBI

double and single, Carr singled three times, one producing two RBI,

Hilary Pool had two singles and a pair of RBI, Flores singled twice with

an RBI, and Thompson added a single and RBI.
