Softball:
Covina edged Garey 7-6 on Monday in a game that featured a combined 28 hits.
Oddly enough, the slugfest ended on a double-steal.
Natalie Contreras got the loss for Garey after 6 2/3 innings of work.
She surrendered seven runs (five earned) on 13 hits.
Contreras didn’t walk anyone and struck out five.
Maya Venegas’ one hit of the game was crucial in the win.
Venegas made her way to third base in the bottom of the seventh inning.
And when Danielle Singley broke from first base to steal second with two outs, the Garey catcher attempted to throw her out, and Venegas came home with the game winner.
Samantha Centeno doubled twice, scored a pair of runs and had an RBI.
Ebony Ruiz singled, doubled, scored and had an RBI.
Kennedy Griego went 3-for-3, including a double, run scored and RBI.
Jolee Rodriguez singled twice and scored, and Arianna Barrera singled, scored and had an RBI in the win.
