| Chico Blanks Pacific Grove 5–0 Behind Strong Pitching Pacific Grove ran into a tough Chico squad Friday, falling 5–0 despite a solid outing in the circle from Lyvia Maciel. Chico broke the scoreless tie in the second inning when two Pacific Grove errors allowed the first run to cross, giving the Panthers early momentum. Maciel worked all seven innings for the Breakers, allowing six hits and five runs—only two earned—while keeping Chico largely in check throughout the game. Chico pitcher McKena Harvey controlled the game from the circle, striking out 12 and limiting Pacific Grove to just one hit. Riley O’Brien recorded the Breakers’ lone hit of the game. Leah Cawthon led Chico offensively with three hits and two RBIs in the victory. |
