| Haybalers Keep The Long Ball Rolling In 16–2 Win Over Kingsburg Hollister’s power surge continued Saturday as the Haybalers launched three more home runs in a 16–2 win over Kingsburg during their tournament weekend. After Avery Chavez set the tone with a solo home run in the first inning, Sophia Galindo followed with a solo blast of her own as Hollister’s lineup kept the ball leaving the yard. Sidney Esparza later joined the party in the sixth with a two-run homer as part of an eight-run inning that blew the game open. Galindo led the offense with a perfect 4-for-4 day that included a home run and a double, while Chavez and Madalyne Rodriguez each drove in four runs as Hollister piled up 16 hits. Esparza also dominated in the circle, striking out 11 and allowing just two hits over five innings as the Haybalers’ bats — and power — stayed hot throughout the weekend. |
