CV roars backs, 12-0 in HAAL
Oakland Tribune, May 7, 2008 by Anonymous
HAYWARD -- The Castro Valley High softball team clinched at least a share of the Hayward Area Athletic League and remained undefeated in HAAL play Tuesday by defeating a feisty Tennyson squad 8-2.
The Trojans can clinch the HAAL title outright and the automatic berth for the North Coast Section playoffs with a win over San Leandro on Thursday.
Despite the final score, Tuesday's win wasn't easy for the Trojans.
After allowing just two total runs in its first 12 HAAL contests, Castro Valley was in unfamiliar territory, trailing 2-0 entering the fourth inning as Tennyson's Jennifer Reynoso and JoJo Pacheco hit solo home runs off Trojans ace Jessica Lemmon.

"After that, we really were fired up against them, and they were a little shook up being down," Tennyson coach Hugh Lenehan said.
But in just one swing of the bat the Trojans got back into the game, as catcher Monica Ammerman hit a two-run homer off Shannon Merritt to tie the game at 2-2 in the fourth.
Castro Valley would add two more in the fifth on a two-run triple by Brittany Sanchez and three more in the sixth.
After the two early home runs, Lemmon allowed just a single the rest of the game, finishing with a three-hitter with 13 strikeouts while walking six.
Merritt pitched well for Tennyson despite allowing eight runs. Only four runs were earned, and she struck out five and walked none.
BASEBALL
CASTRO VALLEY -- Castro Valley's Justin Calestini threw a no- hitter in the Trojans' 14-0 shellacking of Tennyson in HAAL action.
Calestini kept the Lancers bats off-balanced all game, allowing a pair of walks and striking out five.
He was backed by Mike Pepoon and Tim Lee. Pepoon went 2-for-2 with two doubles and three RBIs. Lee added a triple and drove in two more.
The Trojans improved to 7-6 in HAAL and 9-12 overall in beating the Lancers (0-14, 0-12).
MEN'S GOLF
STOCKTON -- The Chabot College men's golf team qualified for the Community College State Championships next week by finishing second in the Northern California Championships at Brookside Country Club on Monday.
The Gladiators finished with a team score of 753, three strokes behind Sierra. Chabot's Kevin McClain shot a 1-over 145 over the two- day tournament and was co-medalist with Sierra's Wes Sandroni.
Sean Fitzpatrick was third with a 146 while Tony Guerrero (148) finished in a three-way tie for sixth. Eric Crociata (155) and Adam Barkow (161) rounded out the Gladiators' strong showing.
The state championships are Monday at the SCGA Golf Course in Murrieta.
