Lions ace Micaela Kastor helps her team escape with a victory in the CIF State Division I regional championship game.
EASTVALE — One thing opponents have learned when playing the Roosevelt softball team this season is not to celebrate until the final out of the game has been recorded.
Roosevelt quickly was down to its final out in the seventh inning, but Jasmine Goins drew a walk to give the Mustangs some life. Annett singled, and Jordan Elias walked to load the bases. Kayla Lyon, who hit the decisive three-run home run in Roosevelt’s 7-4 win over Camarillo on Thursday stepped in to hit. Lyon fouled off the first two pitches, but Kastor threw one of her best pitches of the day to secure the victory.
“ was a real downer, at first, but then it just became a rallying point to go and show that we’re not a fluke and that we’re not overrated,” Lions coach Peter Ackermann said. “It was these girls enthusiasm to stick with it.” Roosevelt’s defense had a rough start, as a pair of errors extended the first inning. Oaks Christian grabbed the lead on a two-out, two-run single by Ilove’a Brittingham.
