Sonoma Valley had lost six straight at home, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 5-12 to make it seven. They lost 12-2 to the Vintage Crushers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Crushers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 10-0 back in March.
Katherine Kiser made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 3-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
As for Vintage, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 9-4. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by seven runs or more this season.
On Vintage's side, Noelle Rofkahr was a major factor no matter where she played. She tossed five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. Rofkahr has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ella Gomez, who went 1-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Desiree Griffith also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
Looking ahead, Sonoma Valley will head out on the road to take on American Canyon at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wolves have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.53 runs per game on average), something the Dragons will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Vintage, they will take on Mountain House in a tournament on Thursday. The Mustangs will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each game than the last.
