Competing against L.A. Harbor College, the Warriors walked away with a 6-0 loss on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Yasmin Antonio, outfielder, stepped up to bat.
Antonio made a huge play when she hit the ball to right centerfield to score a double.
Kendall Roles, outfielder, hit a fastball toward third base. It bounced out of the opponent’s glove, giving Antonio the opportunity to advance to third, while Roles made a double.
Jacklyn Peyrefitte, third baseman, hit a groundball to short.
Roles, between second and third, was called out for interfering with the defender, thus ending the sixth inning.
“I felt disappointed because I knew that’s not what we were,” Peyrefitte said.
The Warriors have had a good season, with “big wins against good teams,” Elaine Martinez, coach, said.
Now the Warriors need to focus on beginning the game with the same fight they exhibited at the end of the game, Melissa Sanchez, assistant coach, said.
“It takes a couple innings for us to get going and that’s been our downfall,” she said.
The Warriors have not let this defeat get in their way, and they maintain a passion for the game.
“Heart is something we can’t teach them. Heart is something that they have to find, and they’ve found it.” Sanchez said.
