It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Capuchino had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They had just enough and edged out the Valley Christian Warriors 4-3. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 10-7 back in March.
Lola Sierra spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Avery Motroni, who got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one run.
