Freshman slugger Kanani Mauga powered the CCHS girls varsity softball team through a dominant Friday sweep, breaking the program’s single‑season home run record as the Lady Greenwave bounced back from a tough start to their series against Elko.
Fallon opened the three‑game stretch with a 17–6 loss on Thursday, extending its losing streak to three. Mauga still produced at the plate, reaching base three times with two runs, a stolen base, and an RBI.
The Lady Greenwave responded with a 9–4 win in Friday’s first game, fueled by Mauga’s two home runs and three RBIs. She finished 2‑for‑3, while Bostynn Wright reached base in all three plate appearances, scoring three times and adding a stolen base.
Fallon carried that momentum into the second game, defeating Elko 12–7 in a league matchup. Mauga delivered her strongest outing of the weekend, going 3‑for‑3 with two more home runs, three runs scored, and four RBIs. Wright added her first triple of the season as the Lady Greenwave secured their second straight five‑run victory.
Fallon posted a .467 team batting average in the win, marking its third consecutive game with improvement at the plate.
Mauga’s four homers on Friday pushed her season total to 16, surpassing the previous school record of 14 set by Lydia Bergman in 2023. The milestone capped a weekend in which she led Fallon’s offense in every contest.
Fallon will prepare for its next league matchup against Lowry at home Friday at 3 p.m. Saturday will be senior day before first pitch at 11 a.m.
Saturday will also be a special day at the field as the Lady Greenwave hosts Girls in Softball Day alongside their final home games of the season.
Youth players wearing a jersey or Greenwave gear will receive free merchandise at the gate as part of the celebration. Fans can also enjoy a photo booth, concessions, and music throughout the day.
The event will celebrate Lady Greenwave seniors while also welcoming the next generation of players to the field.
