The Lancers secured another title state behind a seven-run second inning and fended off a late rally by CDO.
Alec White Not one, not two, not three. The Salpointe Catholic High School softball team is Class 4A champions for the fourth consecutive season.
After grabbing a 9-2 lead, Salpointe had to hold off a late rally by CDO. The Dorados fought back and made it 9-7 going into the bottom of the sixth until Salpointe pitcher Gianna Mares hit a solo home run for a key insurance run. In the second, the Lancers took control on a two-run double from Martinez who sent a sharp fly ball to deep right field to make 3-0. Then, four straight walks issued by CDO, two by starting pitcher Zaedi Tagalog and two by reliever Amelia Streuber allowed the Lancers to plate two more runs.
CDO head coach Kelly Fowler said she talked to her team mid-game and said the mentality was to try to win each inning and not get overwhelmed by the score.But that’s as close as the Dorados would get as Salpointe closed the door with a 1-2-3 final inning. CDO was equally as dominant during the regular season going 29-3 to earn the No. 3 seed. The Dorados beat Prescott, Sahuarita, Mingus Union and Paradise Honors to set up a date with Salpointe.
