Prep softball: Eagles get PCL win

Estancia High strung together six hits, all by different players,

and scored enough runs to defeat Laguna Beach, 3-1, in a Pacific Coast

League softball game Monday at Estancia High.

The victory was the Eagles’ first league win in two years, said Coach

Marc Rodig.

“I’m pumped. We finally won a close one,” Rodig said. “It’s nice to be

on the other end. We played good fundamentally and put the bat on the

ball a couple of times; key hits at the right time.”

The Eagles (3-14, 1-6 in league) scored their three runs on six hits,

all singles, the game-winning RBI coming off the bat of junior third

baseman Laura Morton.

Juniors Karleen Curran and Vivian Laopantrak knocked in the other two

Eagle runs.

Freshman pitcher Hillary Ockey pitched a complete game, scattering

three hits.

Laguna Beach won the previous meeting between the two schools, 4-3.

“It’s nice to be on the other end,” Rodig said.
