Montesano 13, College Place 0
Led by a spectacular outing from pitcher Violet Prince, on Saturday at the Mill Creek Sportsplex in Walla Walla.
In a matchup of two of the state’s top-three teams in the latest WIAA RPI rankings, the No. 1 Bulldogs (11-0) dominated the No. 3 Hawks (12-2) in every way.
Prince, a sophomore right-hander, was brilliant in the circle, tossing a seven-inning no-hitter with 14 strikeouts. Her only blemish in the game was a pair of walks to College Place first baseman Payton Moore, who was the only Hawks batter to not strikeout against Prince.
While Prince was putting up zeros on the scoreboard, the Bulldogs offense placed crooked numbers.
Monte took the lead with three runs in the top of the third capped by a two-run single from first baseman Regan Wintrip and were in complete control with six in the sixth, highlighted by RBI singles from catcher Addi Williamsen, pinch-hitter Dakota Prince, center fielder Taylor Galvin and Wintrip.
Run-scoring singles by standout third baseman Lex Stanfield, second baseman Lainey Robinson and Galvin put Monte up 13-0 in the seventh.
Monte scored nine unearned runs on four Hawks errors and were led by Stanfield, Galvin and Wintrip with three hits apiece.
The Bulldogs now look ahead to a key 1A Evergreen matchup against East County rival Elma, the state’s 4th-ranked team that is tied with Monte atop the league standings.
The two state powerhouses square off at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Elma’s Legacy Fields.
