Hawks Drop Two on Wednesday

The Santiago Canyon College Softball team took 2 losses to Santa Ana College on Wednesday to open the 4-game series. Despite outhitting the Dons in game one, the Hawks offense couldn't execute timely hitting and suffered a 4-0 loss. In the second game of the day, the Hawks dropped the game 2-1 with a 7^th inning walk-off sacrifice fly.

Hailey Guillen held the Dons scoreless over the first three innings, before the Hawks broke down in the 4^th. Two walks and two defensive errors gave Santa Ana the opportunity to put 2 runs on the board in the 4^th inning. Two more runs were added in the 5^th on another walk and a wild pitch. SCC had several opportunities offensively, but was never able to capitalize and stranded 5 runners. Sabrina Rivera led the Hawks offense with a perfect 3-for-3 performance. Alyssa Yslas was 2-for-3 in the first game.  

In game two of the day, the two teams were locked in a 1-1 tie going into the 7^th inning. Scarlett Adams threw a complete game for the Hawks holding the Dons to 6 hits. In the bottom of the 7^th however, two singles and a sacrifice bunt moved the eventual go ahead run to third base. A shallow sacrifice fly ball to right field brought the runner home giving the Dons the 2-1 win. In game two, the Hawks were led offensively by Samantha Villanueva who was 2-for-3. 

The series will continue on Friday at Santiago Canyon College. The first game is scheduled for 12:00pm
