Storm takes two

The Storm racked up two victories in Huntington Beach Girls Softball

12-and-under Division play last weekend by blanking the Black

Thunder, 8-0, and outscoring High Voltage, 11-9.

Kelly Cuadras got the pitching win against the Black Thunder in a

game played at Greer Park.

Cuadras was backed by a strong defense led by Jasmine Lopez and

catcher Jenny Pilecki.

Offensively, Ashley McFann picked up a key RBI single and

Christina Kuehn hit a three-run home run.

In holding off High Voltage at Circle View School, Mariah Nogueira

belted a grand slam home run and also tripled, Courtney Reise and

Lindsey Steinbach each had an RBI and Julia Kurpakus laid down a bunt

to trigger one Storm rally.

Mariah Teramura worked behind the plate for Scianna Butler in her

pitching debut. Cuadras relieved Butler in the final inning to get

the save.
