Softball:
It was going to be a tall task in and of itself.
Rio Hondo Prep welcomed top-seeded Fountain Valley, a school with an enrollment advantage of 3, 389-100 over the Kares.
And unfortunately for RHP, five errors cost them nine runs in Tuesday’s 14-8 setback in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs.
But just like in any sport at RHP, the Kares’ athletes competed their butts off and gave the Barons a legit run for their money.
Tatiana Foor’s remarkable career in the circle for RHP came to an end.
Foor went the distance and allowed five earned runs on 12 hits.
She walked two and struck out six FV batters.
Veronica Moore homered twice, scored three runs and had three RBIs for the Barons.
Kira Velasco went 2-for-5, with a home run, scored three times and drove in three.
Brooke Bonny doubled, homered and finished with three RBIs.
Courtney Kols went the distance for Fountain Valley.
Kols was touched up for eight earned runs on 11 hits.
She walked one and struck out 10 RHP batters.
Raegan Johnson had a monster game, with a double, grand slam and drove in five runs.
Grace Pollock was outstanding, going 4-for-4, with a single, two doubles and a solo home run.
Pollock scored three times and had one RBI.
Foor went 2-for-4, with two runs.
Madison Metz singled, doubled, scored and had an RBI.
Raychel Chang singled, Avery Pollock scored once and Elle Curtis had an RBI for the Kares.
