TRAVEL SOFTBALL
The Ceres Sizzle 12-and-under travel softball team had a successful outing at Rainbow Fields earlier this month in Modesto.
Ceres finished in first place in the Silver Division at the Oct. 12-13 Think Pink Cancer Awareness Tournament.
“There were 20 teams in our age group,” head coach Nicole Ferrel said. “It was a pretty big tournament.”
The Sizzle amassed a 4-2-0 record at Rainbow Fields.
Ceres rallied for a 10-9 win over the Stockton Tigers in the championship game on Oct. 13.
The Sizzle battled back from a six-run deficit.
“I knew they had it in them,” Ferrel said. “The two previous games we were down and ended up getting the victories.”
Tied at 9-9, Ceres completed the comeback by tallying a run in the final inning.
Illiana Saldana singled, stole second and scored on Bella Bravo’s bunt to secure the victory.
“It was exciting to get a win against a team like that,” Ferrel said. “The game was intense.”
The Sizzle have played in three tournaments this fall.
Ceres took third in Elk Grove.
The Sizzle did not place in Manteca.
“Our goal is to get experience because we have a young team,” Ferrel said. “Most of my girls could have stayed down and played 10u. It’s a bonus being able to get first place.”
Sizzle 10s win title
The Ceres Sizzle 10-and-under travel softball team bounced back in a big way with a first-place finish at the Oct. 12-13 Think Pink Cancer Awareness Tournament in Modesto.
“This is only our second tournament playing up,” head coach Sierra DeLeon said. “The first tournament, we didn’t do too well. We went 0-4 in Elk Grove. The whole two weeks of practice before the (Think Pink) tournament definitely paid off.”
Ceres won the Silver Division title at Rainbow Fields.
“It’s a big confidence booster,” DeLeon said. “Technically, we could still be playing 8u. They have the potential to hang with older girls.”
The Sizzle stormed back for a 16-10 international tiebreaker victory over the SCSA Lobos on Oct. 13
“They definitely wanted to win more than the other team,” said DeLeon, whose team trailed by four runs earlier in the game.
Ceres plated seven runs in the top of the seventh inning.
Leilani DeLeon and Olivia Sanchez both hit two-run homers.
“Our whole lineup hit that inning,” Sierra DeLeon said. “It was definitely fun to see.”
Samantha Alcaraz notched the victory by striking out the Lobos’ final three batters in the bottom of the seventh inning.
“She goes to pitching lessons,” coach DeLeon said. “She’s been working hard.”
