Lady Dragons upend El Mo, at Analy today

The Sonoma Valley High School varsity softball girls got back on the Sonoma County League’s winning track at their home field last Thursday following a road loss to defending champion Petaluma.

With senior Hannah Herrick turning in another standout pitching performance – yielding five hits, while striking out 13 and walking three – the Lady Dragons defeated SCL foe El Molino 13-5 to improve their overall record to 11-8 and league mark to 5-2.

Leading Sonoma were sophomore Maddie Lentini’s three-for-three with three RBIs; senior Shawny McVeigh’s two-for-three with two RBIs; and sophomore Hayden Pearce’s two-for-four with two RBIs.

The Lady Dragons play a pair of SCL games on the road this week, first traveling to Sebastopol today for a rematch with longtime rival Analy, which nipped them in their first meeting; and then they face Elsie Allen Thursday afternoon, April 30, in Santa Rosa.

Sonoma’s SCL unbeaten first-place varsity baseball boys begin the second and final six-game round of the 12-game league schedule today in Santa Rosa, where they’ll face Elsie Allen.

The Dragons will then host defending champion Analy, which they beat in their first meeting, at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 30, under the Arnold Field lights. The game was originally scheduled for Friday, but because of an event at their school, Analy asked that it be moved to Thursday.
