The San Manuel softball team exploded for 33 runs in its one-sided, combined no-hitter win at St. Augustine last Tuesday.
The Lady Miners, who have won six of their last seven games, are now 8 – 7 on the season and are looking like the playoff team many expected them to be at the start of the season.
San Manuel pounded out 29 hits, including 10 extra-base hits, in the victory.
Six different players had at least three hits, including senior Dionne Ruiz who had four hits – one of them a homerun – and a team-high seven RBI in the win. Junior Nikki Baldenegro homered for one of her three hits. She also drove in three runs. Freshman Selena Cruz hit a pair of doubles, a triple and had five RBI. Cassandra Guerrero, Alicia Sierra and Daniela Guerrero, who drove in three runs, also had three hits apiece.
Nikki Baldenegro and Taya Dockum, a sophomore, threw a combined no-hitter against the Wolves. The duo pitched five innings with each fanning six Wolves’ batters. Neither allowed a walk.
