Marvin Gaye had a song in 1967 titled "
Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and in that song is a line that goes, "(T)here ain't no mountain high enough, Ain't no valley low enough."
Â
Well, after the two games on Saturday some might say that the OUAZ softball team lived that song.
Â
The day started with a 25-1 loss to second-ranked Southern Oregon, and ended with a 3-2 win over Park Gilbert on a walk-off single by
Brooklynne Esquibel in the bottom of the seventh with two outs.
Â
"I thought the energy was there all game," Head Coach
Ernesto Ortiz said about the Park Gilbert win. "I think when you have "Liv" in the circle it gives our team a lot of confidence that it is going to be a close game. We just have to manufacture some runs. Proud of the effort they bounced back after a really tough loss."
Â
The team will be on the road for the next 10 games before opening Golden State Athletic Conference playÂ
on Friday, March 8, with a doubleheader against #19 Hope International. The first pitch is scheduled forÂ
2:00 p.m. at Willow Canyon High School.
