Orange Coast unable to solve Dons’ Alcaraz

The Orange Coast College softball team managed just two hits off

starter Elaina Alcaraz, who was backed by plenty of offensive support

from visiting Santa Ana, which recorded a 10-1 Orange Empire

Conference win Monday.

OCC (8-11, 3-7 in the OEC) committed six errors behind starting

pitcher Kera Mathes (6-8). One of the seven runs allowed by Mathes

was earned because of the Pirates’ miscues. Courtney Winger led the

way for the Dons (13-13-1, 6-5), going 3 for 4 with a pair of RBI

doubles and two runs scored.
