Bonita shortstop Courtney Gano had another big game, going 4 for 4 with two runs scored, but it wasn’t enough.

Bonita’s loss also helped West Covina (13-6, 5-1), now tied with Bonita in the loss column.
Los Altos (11-5, 4-3) sits in fourth, but the Conquerors are ranked No. 7 in Division 2 and will face Bonita at its place on Friday at 3:30 p.m., in hopes of tightening up the league race even more.

Bonita and West Covina will meet for the final time at Bonita on Friday, May 6 in what could decide the league title. Bonita beat West Covina 8-5 on the road in the first meeting.
