Competing in the Nor-Cal Classic toward the end of last week, the Cordova High School softball team let its bats talks loudly.

The end result in four games was a 2-2 record and a fourth place finish in the Diamond Division of the tournament that featured 65 high school softball teams from the Sac-Joaquin Section. Teams from outside the section also competed at the tourney, two of which the Lancers faced.

Louisville 7, Cordova 6

In the third place game of Diamond Division on April 2nd, Cordova had 15 hits against the squad from Woodland Hills.

Kai’lee Cole lead the way for the Lancers, going 4-for-4 that accounted toward the team’s 15 hits. Samantha Lutman joined teammates Nikki Jones, Joycelyn Brown and Lelia Cooper with two hits each.

Going into the final inning, the Lancers led but Louisville scored three runs to win the game.

“That was a game,” said Cordova head coach Tracy Cole.
