The Gray squad won game three, 3-1, of the annual intrasquad Scarlet-Gray Series Friday night at Buckeye Field. Under new lights for the first time at Buckeye Field, freshman Nycole Koyano (Walnut, Calif./Walnut), sophomore Nicole Lancaster (Magnolia, Ohio/Sandy Valley) and sophomore Stacy Hibma (Buena Park, Calif./Valley Christian) all crossed the plate at the top of the fifth inning to secure the win and the series for the Gray team.
Scarlet scored first in the bottom of the fourth when senior Breana Pozzi (Petaluma, Calif./Casa Grande) singled up the middle, advanced to second when senior Kristi DeVries (Corona, Calif./Corona) was called out at first and rounded to third off a Jennifer Johnson (Sr.; La Mirada, Calif./La Mirada) single to right field. Pozzi crossed home off an error by the Scarlet team.
Gray answered in the fifth. Koyano reached first on an error by the Scarlet squad and proceeded to steal second and third base. Lancaster was walked and moved to second off a Hibma single to left field. With the bases loaded, another Scarlet error brought home Koyano. Lancaster scored off yet another error that put Jamee Juarez (Fr.; La Puente, Calif./Wilson) on first and Hibma gave Gray the final score of the game off an error by the Scarlet left fielder.
Softball will officially resume play in the Spring at the Arizona State Fiesta Bowl Classic Feb. 13-15.
