Mixed bag for Oilers

The Huntington Beach High softball team has jumped from one tournament to another in a three-day span, turning in mixed results.

The Oilers completed play Saturday at the Downey Tournament, where they beat Calvary Chapel, 14-1, and lost, 6-1, to Carson.

On Monday, they took a heavy hit from Laguna Hills in the opening round of the Laguna Hills Tournament, as the host Hawks recorded an 18-0 victory.

In routing Calvary Chapel on Saturday, the Oilers ripped Eagles pitching for 15 hits. Huntington took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, extended it to 6-0 through two innings and posted seven runs in the top of the fourth.
