It's playoff time, and Trinity Catholic had no trouble coming through when it counted. They never let the Crescent City Raiders get on the board and left with a 16-0 win on Tuesday. The matchup marked the Celtics' most dominant victory of the season.
Liliana Ornelas was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with one home run.
In other batting news, Lourdes Ornelas was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Casey Houghtaling also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Trinity Catholic always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .593. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Crescent City only posted an OBP of .182.
Trinity Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Crescent City, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 12 of their last 15 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-15 record this season.
