SOFTBALL Pirates outslug Sunnyside
Reedley High's bats came alive in time to wrap up a fourth consecutive North Yosemite League title on May 2.
The Pirates (17-10, 9-1) trailed 2-1 after two innings, but erupted for four runs in both the third and fourth innings to down second-place Sunnyside by a 9-2 score in Fresno. The win not only extend- ed the title streak but was the program's seventh league crown in eight years.
Reedley left the door ajar for Sunny- side by dropping a 9-8 home decision in eight innings to Hoover on April 30. The Pirates rallied to tie the score, 5-5, in the bottom of the seventh before the Patriots erupted for four runs in the eighth.

Family members of Reedley High's six senior baseball players delivered pitches to the players during a Senior Day ceremonial "first pitch" before the Pirates' North Yosemite League finale against Hoover on May 2. Seniors honored were Justin Rackley, Roger Ortiz, Tristin Garza, Chris Hinojosa, Ryan Garza and Oscar Lemus.
BASEBALL
Pirates tune up with shutout
Reedley High wrapped up second place in NYL with a 3-0 shutout of the Hoover Patriots on Senior Day at RHS diamond May 2.
Roger Ortiz, one of the six seniors hon- ored before the game, struck out seven in the shutout while also going 2-for-3 at the plate. Another senior, Tristin Garza, also went 2-for-3 as did junior Jacob Gagnon.
Earlier in the week, the Pirates shut out Hoover by a 10-0 score in Fresno on April 30. Senior Oscar Lemus picked up the pitching win while senior Justin Rack- ley was 3-for-4 with a double and three runs batted in. Ortiz also went 3-for-4 with
a double while junior Felipe Ranallo went 2-for-4 and knocked in two runs.

The 200 medley relay team of Elise Thiesen, Alina Hodges, Morgan Gates and Abby Delport clocked 2 minutes, 2.88 seconds. Gates, Delport, Hodges and Diana Hoffman swam 1:51.03 in the 200 free relay while those same four teamed to post a 4:04.01 in the 400 free relay.

Current catcher Danny Gamez and infielder Hans Brown were named to the all-CVC second team while infielder Gabe Grijalva and pitcher Peyton McNair were honorable mention selec- tions.
Elsewhere, six former Reedley College Tigers are members of the York College baseball team in Nebraska, that qualified last weekend for the open- ing round of the NAIA Na- tional Tournament. The list includes pitchers Evan Sagariballa (5-3, 4.48 ERA), Spencer Jones (1.76, 9 saves), Casey Wagnon, Dal- lin Cornelious and Aaron Alvarez and catcher Matt Nunes, who is second on the 29-21 Panthers with a .337 batting average.
COLLEGES

Vallejo added some insur- ance with a two-run homer.
Reedley captured the May 4 contest by a 6-3 score, im- proving to 33-9 on the season.
Sophomore Emily Grim- beby was the winning pitch- er in both games, improving her season record to 25-8 on the season.
“It was just good to get it done,” said a happy head coach Kathy Kuball after
the May 4 game. “We got enough runs on the board.”
San Jose City College brings a 17-game winning streak into the Super Region- als after blanking Feather River by scores of 3-0 and 12-0. The Coast Conference South champions have been shut out by top seeded Col- lege of San Mateo twice this season.
The Lady Tigers and Central Valley Conference champion College of the Se- quoias were the only CVC
teams to advance to the Su- per Regionals. Since COS was seeded one spot below the Tigers, they will face top seeded College of San Mateo in the Super Regionals.
Third place Fresno City was eliminated after two losses to Sierra College while fourth place Porter- ville was swept by San Joa- quin Delta.
BASEBALL Two Tigers make all-CVC first team
Two Reedley College baseball standouts, infield- er Deagan Risnes (Lake Arrowhead) and outfielder Josh Mares, were named last week to the all-Central Valley Conference first team.
Mares, a sophomore from Selma, announced last week that he will be continuing his baseball career at Mount Marty College in Yankton,
