They say it’s difficult to beat a team 3 times in the same season, but it didn’t seem especially difficult for the Chino HIgh softball team on Saturday.
The Cowgirls scored multiple runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings, built a 10-1 lead and held on to beat Don Lugo 10-6 in the CIF-SS Division 2 championship game at Deanna Manning Stadium. Chino beat Don Lugo for the 3rd time this season. The Cowgirls won a pair of Mt. Baldy League contests this year to win the league title.
Chino took advantage of five Don Lugo errors to score five unearned runs.
Three of the runs that were earned came home on sophomore pitcher Miranda Viramontes’ 3-run home run in the third inning.
Viramontes had some control issues in the 6th, walking four, hitting two and allowing five runs. But she retired the final batter of the inning with two runners on base and set Don Lugo down in order in the seventh.
