Softball: Charter Oak pounds way into tournament semifinals, which take place Friday

The final round robin games in the Charter Oak tournament at Big League Dreams in West Covina are today with semifinal games set for Friday at 3:30 p.m., and the championship on Saturday at 3 p.m. I will post the semifinal schedule tonight, but the Chargers already have punched their ticket.

Charter Oak wins: Charter Oak must love the Big League Dreams facilities in West Covina, where the Chargers are hosting their annual high school softball tournament. Not only are the fields enormous and wide open, the slick manicured outfields favor anything in the gaps, which the Chargers took full advantage of Tuesday. Inside-the-park home runs from Charter Oak’s Samantha Valadez, Monique Villasenor, Cassie Andrews and Jayme Chessler led to a 17-4 victory over La Salle, helping the Chargers improve to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in the tournament after a 6-1 win over Covina on Monday.
