Softball team make do despite player injuries

The Warriors won, 25-2, against Compton at home on March 20.
Yasmin Antonio played a great game, Elaine Martinez, coach, said. With four times at bat, she scored three runs, including her homerun, and 6 RBIs.
Alia Williams, center fielder, was only at bat once but scored a homerun, resulting in two RBIs, Martinez said.
During the game, Barbara Goodwin, second baseman, injured her knee. While trying to tag the opponent between first and second base, they collided and she fell, said Aisha Salami, outfielder.
This is the second injury this season. Irene Sanchez, outfielder, injured her ankle during the Mach 8 Pasadena game. They hope that both players will return within the next few weeks, fully recovered, Martinez said.
The March 22 game against L.A. Harbor resulted in a loss, 12-1.
With Goodwin and Sanchez out due to injuries, and Jacklyn Peyrefitte, third baseman, and Faafili Taamilo, catcher, out for personal reasons, the Warriors had adjustments to make Samantha Yzaguirre, outfielder, said.
“Kendall (Roles) did really well, and usually doesn’t play first base,” Yzaguirre said.
The Warriors look forward to their next game against Mt. San Antonio on March 27 at 3 p.m. at home.
