Sequoias soar into top-10 after impressive week
LOS ANGELES, Calif – Despite losing its first game of the season, West Valley retains the top-spot in the 3CFCA Week Seven Coaches’ Poll.
The Vikings are 23-1 on the season, suffering a 10-2 loss to No. 6 Sequoias on March 8. The Giants make the biggest jump of the week, soaring from 20th to the top 10. Led by pitcher Taylor Hastin – 3CFCA’s only repeat Pitcher or Player of the Week, Sequoias is 18-6 on the season.
Not to be overshadowed by the Giants, No. 8 San Jose City is on a 20-game winning streak, sitting at 21-1 on the season. The Jaguars, perhaps the most under-the-radar squad in the state, are led by Evangelina Chavarria. The two-way player is slashing .500/.548/.754 in 66 at-bats while spinning a 1.23 ERA in 85.2 innings. She’s sporting a spotless 14-0 record.
In the south, Palomar keeps rolling. The Comets, now second for back-to-back weeks, lead the south and are second in the state in RPI. They’re 13-2 on the season and are recently coming off a 13-5 run-rule victory over Preseason No. 1 Fullerton. Breanna Lutz leads the state in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage (.686/.750/1.229).
No. 9 Orange Coast enters the top-10 for the first time this season. The Pirates are one of five teams with a RPI over .60 and boast wins over No. 4 El Camino and No. 15 Mt. San Antonio College. Their only losses are to Palomar and El Camino.
No. 17 Bakersfield is back in the top-20 after missing out for five weeks. The 9-9 Renegades beat No. 5 Cypress to begin a four-game winning streak.
