CALISTOGA >> Clear Lake High School’s seniors flexed their collective muscles on Friday while pounding the Calistoga Wildcats 18-1 in non-league softball action at Calistoga. The game was called after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.
Winning pitcher Atiana Patino tossed a two-hitter and struck out seven while Kam Cresto (1-for-2, 4 RBIs) and Lindee Bingham (2-for-3, 3 RBIs) combined to knock in seven runs as the Cardinals improved to 3-0.
“It’s nice seeing us get better every game,” Clear Lake head coach Scott Schaefers said. “Our fielding is getting better, and our seniors are leading the way on offense.”
Patino pitched her third game in five days.
Among other senior contributors were Faith McIntire, who went 2-for-2 with a double, a RBI and three runs scored, and Karsyn Greer, who went 1-for-2 with two RBIs and three runs scored.
Clear Lake’s other hits belonged to Cali Albaum, Maddie Kollach, Anjoli Scott, Abbi Malley and Hailey Perez. Albaum, Scott, Malley, Perez Patino and Amelie Davis all had RBIs.
