Sports briefs: San Rafael, Redwood win to create traffic jam atop MCAL softball standings
Sophia Everett and Thomara Drummer had big games for the San Rafael High softball team in a win against Archie Williams while Redwood rolled to a big win — results that left all three teams in a tie for first place atop the MCAL standings on Wednesday.
Everett had three hits, two RBIs, and scored four times as San Rafael cruised to a 9-1 win against the Peregrine Falcons. Drummer and Angel Amesa had back-to-back doubles for the Bulldogs (15-2, 8-2) in a four-run third inning.
Drummer helped her own cause with two hits, three RBIs and two runs scored. Drummer pitched all seven innings, allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out 13.
Archie Williams (10-4, 8-2) scored its lone run in the top of the fourth — a homer by catcher Kennedy Dunsing.
In the other game, Redwood scored early and often to take down Tam 14-0 in five innings. The Giants (11-5, 8-2) got three hits apiece from Hailey Carlton and Elle McElreath. Gia Meyers had two hits and Addy Dunn had two RBIs.
Eden Clark had two hits to pace the Red-tailed Hawks (3-12, 1-9).
