Three wins in four games. That’s what the Cordova High School softball produced in seven days.

The one game that the Lady Lancers didn’t win was on Monday in a Sierra Valley Conference contest. Playing at Liberty Ranch, the hits were there for Cordova (3-3 in the SVC, 7-8 overall), but the Lady Hawks pulled out an 8-3 win.

The game was tied 2-2 after the first inning. But Liberty Ranch (record) scored two more runs in the second and three more in the third frames for a 7-2 lead. Cordova scored its final run in the top of the sixth.

Cordova finished with nine hits in the game. Leading the offense was Nikki Jones, who went 2-for-4 with a double. Samantha Lutman also went 2-for-4 with an RBI and Traci Mahony also had an RBI. Liberty Ranch had 10 hits.

“Liberty Ranch has our number (on Monday),” said Cordova head coach Tracy Cole, whose squad plays the Hawks again this month.

Cordova 22, Galt 6

In an SVC game home game on April 15th, the Lancers had the Warriors’ number.

Cordova banged out 21 hits in the game that was called after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. One of those hits was a grand slam from Mason Pittaro, who clubbed her second home run against El Dorado on April 11th.

Mahony and Joycelyn Brown had four hits each for the Lancers; Mahony had a double, three singles and two RBIs while Brown also had two RBIs. Sierra Reyes joined the Lancers’ hitting circle by going 3-for-4 that included a double and two RBIs.

Other Lancer hitters were Samantha Lutman, Pittaro and Kai’lee Cole with two hits each.

In a non-conference road game in Sacramento on April 14th, the Lancers led 11-0 after the first inning. The game was called after five innings, also because of the mercy rule. Cordova had 25 hits.

Cordova 8, Rosemont 3

In an SVC home game on April 13th, the visiting Wolverines led 3-1 going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That’s when the Lancers’ offensive production took command. Cordova, which scored its first run in the first inning, plated seven runs that led to the win.

“We batted our whole line-up,” said Cole of his team’s attack in the fifth frame. “They just let loose.”

The Lancers had only five hits, plus took advantage of four Rosemont errors to get the win. Reyes, along with Cooper, Brown, Mahony and Cain, had a hit each for the Lancers.

On Wednesday, Cordova, which was sitting alone in third place in the SVC, hosted first place Union Mine, which is 7-0. Today, Friday, the Lancers will host El Dorado and next Monday play at Rosemont. Both games are scheduled to start at 4 p.m.
