Bonita’s Rebecca Orozco, Michelle Whitt and Veronica Ortega all hit three-run homers and Anissa Sanchez hit a solo shot to lead Bonita to an easy victory to remain in a tie for first in the Hacienda. But on a big site note, Rowland junior Kaylea Snaer hit her 13th homer in the fourth and added an RBI double to drive in the Raiders’ only two runs. Snaer, who is batting. 569 with 34 RBIs, is five home runs shy of the all-time CIF-Southern Section single-season home run record set by Crescenta Valley’s Bailie Kirker with 18 in 2008. Snaer needs to tie or break the record over the final seven games since there is no way the Raiders make the playoffs. Remember when coach Craig Snyder worried if teams would pitch to her? He solved that by batting her leadoff. Plus, with the Raiders struggling, teams are taking on Snaer, especially in lopsided games, and she’s proving to be the real deal. It appears looking at this list, Snaer is already the SGV’s all-time single-season home run queen. I don’t remember ever crowning an area MVP whose team didn’t make the playoffs, but Snaer’s numbers are so ridiculous you have to consider it.
