Vikings win opener

The West Valley Community College women's softball team opened the Coast Conference playoffs with a lopsided 10-2 win over Monterey Peninsula College.

Julia Martin was the winning pitcher for the Vikings, running her season record to an impressive 35-7.

Kimberly Lax had two hits to drive in two runs and Sarah Dudley (Willow Glen), Autumn Kanemoto and Lisa McDuffee each had two hits. Jennifer Ellinger hit a double.

The Vikings, 15-1 in the conference and 43-10 for the year, opened the week with a 10-1 win over Monterey in a regular season game. Ellinger had a home run and two singles to drive in three runs for the winners and Dudley doubled and singled twice.

Shannon Sullivan (Los Gatos) had two hits to drive in three runs, and Lax had a couple of hits.

Vikes lose a pair

Ryan Becks tossed the West Valley Community College baseball team to a 9-5 win over Monterey Peninsula College last week, but the win was sandwiched by a pair of Coast Conference losses for the Vikings.

Becks tossed a five-hitter, striking out nine along the way, to lead the Vikes to the win over Monterey. Becks ran his mound record to 10-2 with the win.

Isaac Yacap doubled twice and singled to drive in two runs and Matt Troedson singled twice to plate three runs in the win.
