Lady Trojans split in Anderson tourney

Not even the artificial playing surface at Redding's Big League Dreams could fend off the weather over the weekend, as the Orland High softball team played in the Anderson Cub Classic.

With rain postponing several games Friday, Saturday's bracket play was determined by a blind draw.

Orland 12, Redding Christian 2

In the Trojans' first Friday contest, Heather Oakley found the gaps for a pair of triples and 4 RBI's , and Jessica Bonesio went 2-for-3, driving in three. Anastasia Gutierrez, Michelle Shelden and Christina Shannon came through with singles to help end the game after four innings due to the 10-run mercy rule.

Orland coach George Oakley reported Jessica Bonesio pitched four strong innings of two-hit ball.

The Lady Trojans were able to cruise to a five-inning win Saturday, with the help of an 8-run second inning.

In the Saturday finale, the Trojans committed four more errors in a 7-4 loss.
