Staff Report
The first inning hadn’t yet settled on the afternoon of Friday, March 20, when it became clear that the CCHS girls' varsity softball team had arrived with its offense fully charged. By the time Lady Greenwave finished cycling through their lineup for the second time, Sparks was staring at a deficit that only grew heavier as Lady Greenwave powered to a 20-0 win in a non‑league matchup.
Lady Greenwave opened with five runs in the first inning, then stacked on three more in the second before erupting for 12 in the third. The girls' varsity team finished with 24 hits and didn’t allow Sparks a single one, securing their third straight shutout and another lopsided victory in a season already full of them.
No player embodied the surge more than Kanani Mauga, who delivered a career day at the plate. Mauga went 4-for-4 with three home runs and 10 RBI, clearing the fence with a confidence that seemed to lift the entire dugout. Jocelyn Pimentel added her own spark, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.
Lady Greenwave, now 9-2, has won seven straight on the road dating back to last season, a stretch fueled by pitching that has allowed just 2.1 runs per game. Their offense has been just as relentless, posting a batting average of .381 or better in seven consecutive contests.
Lady Greenwave heads to Spring Creek on Friday, March 27, for a 3 p.m. matchup.
