The La Caņada Flintridge 14-and-under
Gold team captured its first tournament championship
of the summer season with a 5-2 win
over Ojai Valley at the June Jamboree All-Star
Tournament at Moorpark.
The win capped an undefeated weekend
for LC Gold, which included wins over
Westlake-Agoura and Newberry Park, and a
hard-fought tie against Ojai Valley, the team
they eventually defeated for the championship.
The weekend started with a 7-1 dominating
win over Westlake-Agoura, also known as
the WAGS. Selina Mohr struck out 10 batters
in her return to 14U softball. Mohr also had a
double, two singles and scored two runs.
Catcher Aubri Thompson was also 3-for-3 at
the plate, including a towering two-run home
run. Brenna Gay, Michelle Musso and
Michelle Grochow scored runs in the win.
La Caņada then played Ojai Valley to a 5-
5 tie. Trailing 3-0, LC rallied with a four-run
fifth inning. Shannon Ritter, Raleigh Scharre
and Dana Delaney each had important hits and
Leslie Arreola smacked a three-run home run.
Despite the tie, LC advanced to the semifinals.
The semifinal game against Newberry
Park was another come-from-behind win for
La Caņada. Trailing 4-0, LC Gold scored two
runs in the first inning and four runs in the
decisive fourth inning for a 6-4 victory. The
winning rally included home runs from Mohr
and Thompson, as well as key two-out hits by Musso and first baseman Kelly Berg.
Madison MacKenzie pitched four scoreless
innings in the championship game to earn
the win. Kelly Berg, Aubri Thompson,
Shannon Ritter and Mary Peck all had RBIs to
seal the victory. LC shut down the Ojai Valley
offense, thanks to outstanding defensive plays
by Madelyn Merchant and Musso, as each
made three outs from their outfield positions.
