Girls Softball: Samohi Routs New Roads:

Several premier high school softball players were on the same field last Friday. However, Santa Monica High made sure the outcome of its non-league home game against New Roads would be decided quickly. Hannah-Rose Peters blazed her fastball past the game’s first three hitters, throwing to all-CIF catcher Christine Foley. Then the Vikings came to bat and scored six runs before New Roads pitching star Stephanie Carrillo entered the game as a reliever.Samohi went on to a 7-1 victory.Peters, who bats cleanup, drove in the game’s first two runs with a triple over the centerfielder’s head. Samohi scored twice more, then Lana Bowie singled to make it 5-0 and a throwing error brought home another run.Once Carrillo came in the Vikings couldn’t mount much more offense. Carrillo, who throws as hard as Peters, is the Jaguars’ ace and has a scholarship to an Eastern college.There were no more runs until the sixth inning when New Roads shortstop Ana Ramirez singled and circled the bases on errors.
