Vikings edge Jags
Jennifer Mallon and Jaime Simon locked up in an eight-inning thriller, but it was Mallon coming out on top when the West Valley Community College women's softball team edged San Jose City College 32-2 in the first round of the playoffs in the South Division of the Coast Conference.
The Vikings broke a 2-2 tie with a run in the eighth, then Mallon blanked the Jaguars in the home half of the inning to nail down the win. She's now 39-9 for the year. Autumn Kanemoto, Janna Marquez and Chantie McDonnell ripped two hits each to lead West Valley to the victory.
Vikings split
A split in the final week of the regular season helped the West Valley Community College baseball team finish over .500 in conference play, but a 15-13 record was good for just fifth in the rugged South Division of the Coast Conference.
The Vikings beat up on last-place Hartnell 24-2, but dropped a tough 5-2 nod to co-champion Mission College later in the week. Matt Troedson was tagged with the loss against the Saints and J.R. Ziegelmann had two hits.
