SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - San Marcos girls softball entered the bottom of the fifth inning holding a slim 2-0 lead over Leuzinger.

The Royals never had to take the field again defensively after erupting for eight runs as they advance 10-0 by mercy-rule after 5 innings in a first round CIF-Southern Section Division 5 home game.

Cal State Monterey Bay-commit Solana Sandoval ripped a 2-run home run to make it 4-0.

Emilia Morales finished off the uprising with a 2-run shot over the left-center field fence.

GOLETA, Calif. (KEYT) - Emily Morici looked like a seasoned-senior in the circle.

But just a freshman Morici pitched a complete game shutout striking out 11 batters as Dos Pueblos blanked Crescenta Valley 5-0 in a first round CIF-Southern Section Division 3 playoff game.

The Chargers will play at La Salle in the second round in a game that has been moved to Monday rather than Saturday because of field concerns.

DP scored all five of their runs in a sloppy third inning for the Falcons.

Brooklyn Hedricks hit a line drive to center field that went off the glove of the outfielder allowing two runs to score.

(Hedricks frozen rope in the third inning to center was a key moment in the game. Entenza Design).

The Chargers plated two more runs on a wild pitch and a throwing error on the same play.

Dos Pueblos' offense was humming as they banged out 10 hits putting pressure on the Falcons defense.

(Idaho State-commit Anastasia Brunner singles in the first inning. Entenza Design).
