JC softball: OCC, Pham rout Lasers

Orange Coast College freshman Mijanou Pham went 3 for 3, drove in

four runs and pitched a five-hit complete game to key the Pirates’ 20-6

Orange Empire Conference softball victory over visiting Irvine Valley

Monday.

Pham’s offensive performance included a double, two singles and a walk

as the Pirates (9-13, 3-10 in conference) invoked the eight-run mercy

rule on the Lasers.

Freshman Emilee Bodiford went 3 for 4 with one RBI, while OCC teammate

Charlotte Kraft, also a freshman, was 2 for 4 with two RBIs.

Coach Jim Bollinger’s Pirates scored nine runs in each of the first

two innings, before adding a pair in the third.

OCC visits OEC foe Saddleback Friday.
