Make it two straight for the Hollister Heat 14-and under ‘A’ travel softball team at the NSA Western World Series in Modesto. The Heat 14’s blanked the San Ramon Valley Stompers 4-0 at Modest Christian High School Tuesday, which makes them 2-0 going into the seeded portion of the tournament.
The Heat face the Valley Tremors today at 3:15 p.m. at Rainbow Field.
Denise Lujan pitched into the third inning, then was relieved by Sam Filice, who went the rest of the way.
Amanda Boyd stole three bases and scored twice for the Heat. Ari Romero pinch-ran for Filice in the fifth inning after Filice had singled. Romero stole her way around the bases and scored on a throwing error. In the sixth, Kris Haggard cranked her second double of the tournament, then was knocked in by Jamie Huston, who singled up the middle. Boyd came into pinch-run for Huston, then stole third and scored on another Stompers error.
“Their pitcher threw hard,” said Heat 14 coach Steve Grimsley. “We had to manufacture most of our runs.”
