With the help of a four-run fourth inning, varsity softball defeated South San Francisco High School 9-1 on March 13.<\/p>\n
After the four-run fourth, the score was 6-0 and South San Francisco wouldn\u2019t score its first run until the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
Head coach Michelle Teofan said the team had to adjust because it was the first time playing South San Francisco.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pitcher was a little slower than we were used to,\u201d Teofan said. \u201cIt took us three innings to get back and figure it out, but once we figured it out, like this team almost always does, we (ran) hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore pitcher and first baseman Eleanor Wells practice translated into in-game success.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was about hitting line drives,\u201d Wells said. \u201cIn the second half of the game, we really managed to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freshman pitcher Samantha Prabhu said practice leading up to the game focused on fielding bunts.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast game we really struggled with that,\u201d Prabhu said. \u201c So in this game, we did a really good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wells said the team also brought great energy to the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really good at hyping each other up, and if somebody (makes) a bad play, we just tell them to shake it off,\u201d Wells said.<\/p>\n
And Prabhu said this environment contributes to the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all super supportive of each other,\u201d Prabhu said. \u201cWe love being around each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
With this win, the team improved to 4-1, but Teofan said they are not aiming for perfection.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal this year is not necessarily to be number one,\u201d Teofan said. \u201cOur goal is to make it to CCS.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the help of a four-run fourth inning, varsity softball defeated South San Francisco High School 9-1 on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105,14502],"class_list":["post-275365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-softball"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
