Girls’ Athletes of the Week : SOFTBALL

Catcher Erin Davis continued to send baserunners a message, throwing out three runners as Mt. Carmel (4-4) won 2 of 3 games.

Davis, a senior, has thrown out eight runners this season. Last week, she also had two home runs, giving her five this season, and had a triple and three walks. She is hitting .500 (11 for 22).

It is Davis’ one-step throws and ability to guide Mt. Carmel’s two freshman pitchers that Coach Joe Radovich praises the most. “We figure that if someone tries to steal, 9 out of 10 times it’s an out,” he said.

In her first major competition of the season, Orange Glen’s Laura Hughes threw the shot 40 feet 9 inches to finish first in the Mission Viejo Invitational.
