Softball Dragons stay perfect

The Lady Dragon softball team used another big inning in their 9-7 win over Windsor on Wednesday and remain unbeaten.

Sonoma pushed six runs across in the fourth inning – the fourth straight game they’ve put a big number up. In their opener against Terra Linda, Sonoma had a six-run inning. Against Maria Carrillo, they put together an eight-run inning and put up a six spot last Thursday against Casa.

Wednesday, Windsor scored once in the first. The Lady Dragons knotted the game in the second when freshman Kaliyah Hensic, leading off the inning, singled. She took second when freshman Abby Alcayaga also singled and then scored when freshman Kennedy Midgley was safe on an error.

Windsor took a momentary 2-1 lead in the top of the third, but the Lady Dragons pushed two runs across in the bottom of the inning to take a 3-2 lead.

Windsor again pushed a run across in the top of the fourth, But Sonoma exploded for six runs in the bottom of the inning.

Midgley singled, senior Bella Fanucchi reached base before freshman Ally Alcayaga emptied the bases with a home run to center field. And the Lady Dragons didn’t look back.

The Jags scored four in the top of the fifth, but it wasn’t enough.

“Our bats are really going to drive us this year,” said Coach Keeley Ray.

Ally Alcayaga led the hit parade, going two-for-four with a home run and three RBIs, Hensic was two-for-three with a walk and junior Molly Brown was two-for-four with two RBIs. The win gives Sonoma a 4-0 mark.

“Next week, we’ll be tested,” Ray said. “We’re at Pinole Valley on Monday and at Marin Catholic on Wednesday.”
