If Bonita Vista was riding high fresh off their 8-2 takedown of Point Loma last Monday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Bonita Vista Barons fell just short of the Imperial Tigers by a score of 1-0 on Friday. The contest marked the first time this season in which the Barons were not able to get on the board.
Natalie Gonzalez was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over 6.2 innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Bonita Vista saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kianna Balajadia-Brooks, who went 1-for-4 with one double. Story Reyes also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
