SJCC Lady Jaguars Triumph in Playoff Opener, Eye Next Victory at Home

The Lady Jaguars of San Jose City College (SJCC) have moved to the second round of the CCCAA Northern California Regional Playoffs, defeating Reedley College 5-0. The match, originally scheduled for Saturday, was postponed to Sunday due to rain. Earlier in the day, Reedley had defeated the Jags, setting the stage for a decisive rematch.

The game started with strong defense from both teams, resulting in no scores in the first three innings. The deadlock broke in the fourth inning when SJCC's Faamaai Ulu hit a two-run single, giving the Lady Jags the lead. SJCC then extended their lead by adding three more runs in the sixth inning, with contributions from Karissa Smith, Isabella Giambruno, and Ashley Skipper.

SJCC's pitcher, Evangelina Chavarria, played a key role in the victory by pitching a complete game shutout. She allowed only one hit and struck out three batters. Reedley struggled to respond, managing only one hit against Chavarria.
