Sonoma swept in softball, golf, tennis; hole-in-one for Hurley in Ukiah tourney

 

Three of Sonoma Valley High School’s young spring sports teams had a rough afternoon of Sonoma County League road action on Tuesday, with the Sonoma softball girls and tennis boys suffering one-sided defeats to powers Petaluma and Casa Grande, respectively, while the golfing Dragon boys dropped a 223-235 decision to Analy.

Pacing the Sonoma boy golfers at the Santa Rosa Country Club course were senior A.J. Vitorelo’s nine-hole round of 40, junior RAB Byrd’s 44, junior Tyler Johnson’s 47, sophomore Justin Crockett’s 51, and sophomore Brian Hurley’s 53.

On Monday the golfing Dragons competed in the annual Ukiah Tournament and, while the team didn’t fare well with a combined 18-hole score of 500, Sonoma’s Hurley had a day to remember after firing his first-ever hole-in-one on the 132-yard fifth hole.

Sonoma was paced by Vitorelo’s 92, Byrd’s 94, Hurley’s 100, Johnson’s 103, and Crockett’s 111.

The Dragons played at Healdsburg’s Tayman Park course yesterday, with the results not available at presstime.

Sonoma’s softball girls opened SCL play last week by routing Healdsburg 17-3, but on Tuesday in Petaluma, they were the ones who were routed, with the Trojans erupting for nine first-inning runs en route to a 18-2 runaway win.

Pacing the Lady Dragons, who host nonleague Ursuline at 4 p.m. today on the high school field, were frosh Lindsey Rocha’s two-for-three, and a single each by sophomores Riley Ellis-Reis, Kendall Ashe and Zoe Gaarder.
