Catching the Winning Fever Girls Softball Makes It Happen The pitcher studies the ap- proaching batter. The batter steps to the plate, takes a practice swing and then looks up. The pitcher pitches the soft- ball. Keeping her eye on the ball, the batter swings. Her bat makes contact with the softbaB with a dull thud. This is the excit- ing game of girls softball. The girls on the varsity softball team combined friendship, teamwork and a positive ap- proach to make an above- average team. Sunny Carrillo said, We loved each other. Coach Ellis was the coach of the girls varsity softball team. She was confident of them. She coached her girls to victories against tough opponents. One of the victories was game. At the bottom of the sixth inning, with no outs, and two runners on base. Mesa was at bat. They hit the ball to Lisa Paufi, who dove for it and caught it for the first out. She threw it to Amy Coyle for out two. Amy then threw it to Shannon Vin- cent for Dobson's first triple play. This triple did not come easily since every day the team strove for per- fection. They practiced until sunset, endured cold Saturday mornings, and kept their strength up with bags of sunflower seeds.
