One of the San Gabriel Valley’s most versatile and dominant softball players in recent memory got her first college victory on Sunday.

Devyn Netz, who starred at Maranatha for three years before moving to Tucson, got the ball against visiting Southern Utah.

The Thunderbirds got one first-inning run off the University of Arizona freshman, but Netz shrugged it off and earned the win.

She went four innings on 62 pitches, and allowed that one run on three hits.

Netz didn’t walk a batter and struck out five in the 10-1, five-inning victory.

Carlie Sculpin’s two-run shot in the second inning gave U of A its first lead of the game

Malia Martinez went 2-for-3, with a home run, three runs scored and three RBIs.

Sharlize Palacios hit a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning

Jessie Fontes closed out Southern Utah, going the fifth and final inning,

She allowed just one hit and struck out one Thunderbirds batter.

Arizona improved to 5-0 in 2021.
