Sorcerer 18 Gold - Mumma

Wow!!! In what may have been the best fall SoCal debut for Sorcerer Softball ever, Sorcerer scored 50 runs in just 5 games against the competition in the Surf City October Showcase in Huntington Beach this weekend.

With coaches from Cal, Stanford, Northwestern, Washington, Oregon, University of New Mexico, Mississippi State, Cal Poly, Kansas, Chapman, LSU, University of San Diego, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois State, Utah State, Brigham Young, Southern Mississippi et al watching, Sorcerer put on a quite a show:

• Third-baseman Breana Kostreba crushed a 3-run homer over the fence. Playing third, Breana made an incredible full-speed backward diving catch of a pop up to shallow left field.
• Catcher Whitney Massey scored an inside the park homerun.
• In a demonstration of incredible Sorcerer athleticism, second baseman Shea Williams went horizontal to catch a line drive to center field. The ball hit the tip of her glove. Shortstop Jordan Wallace scoped the ball up and fired it to first baseman Kasey Tydingco who did a full split to catch the ball just before the runner tagged the base for the out.
  
• With runners on first and second, infielder Whitney Shaw ran like the howling Santa Ana wind to reach first base on her first bunt of the season.
• Catcher Maya Burns fielded what had appeared to be a perfect bunt and threw the runner out, demonstrating just how strong her arm really is.
• Pitchers Chelsea Cohen and Jessica Moore battled each other to see who could retire the most runners with consecutive strikeouts. Was it Chelsea with 4?
• Left fielder Kayla White showed her speed and agility with a scoop of a line drive and a frozen rope throw to the infield.
• In appearance after apperance, Emily Allard slapped her way to first base and stole second nearly every time, causing college coaches in the stands to scribble madly about her incredible speed and long strides.
• With oufielders playing 200 feet deep, center fielder Courtney Moore crushed a ball that must have traveled over 230 feet, showing just how powerful she is.
