Offense finally erupts for Trabuco Hills

Trabuco Hills has been winning games, but the offense had yet to erupt.

That was until Tuesday's Sea View League meeting against visiting El Toro, where the No. 9 Mustangs pounded out 10 hits in a 5-1 victory at Trabuco Hills High.

“That's one thing we stressed last week in the (Michelle) Carew Classic,” Webber said. “We weren't getting hits together. We were getting hits sporadically. I think today we finally put a string of hits together and we were able to score some runs off them.”

Trabuco Hills (14-5, 2-0) has finished in second place behind the Chargers (8-14, 0-2) in the league title race the past two seasons.

“We know going in that they (the Chargers) are always going to be a tough game,” Webber said. “They live right down the street from us too, so (it's) a little rivalry in our league.”

El Toro manufactured a run to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning. Lauren Chamberlain led off with a single, stole second with one out and moved to third on Brooke Bell's bunt single. Shannon Tinsley drove in Chamberlain with a sacrifice fly to right field.

Trabuco Hills responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Kayla Massey and Mandy Gutierrez had back-to-back singles to start the inning and Madi Geiger drove both of them in with a one-out double to the gap in left-center field.

The Mustangs added three more runs on five hits and an error as they batted around in the bottom of the sixth. Ashley Putkamer had an RBI single and Ahlyn Campbell had two-run single.

Massey had another solid pitching performance for the Mustangs, allowing two hits, one walk and striking out 11 to record the victory.
