The St. Bernard’s Crusaders got their first two wins of the softball season over the weekend, as they headed south for four games in three days.

The SB girls got the road trip off to a winning start with an 8-5 win at Upper Lake on Thursday, before opening the Cloverdale tournament with a 12-2 loss to the host school on Friday.

The Crusaders played two more games to close out tournament play on Saturday, defeating Credo 16-7 and losing to Ukiah 15-3 in the consolation championship game.

Seniors Sierra Mendoza and Torrin Baty both pitched well at Upper Lake, with Baty also leading the way at the plate and finishing 3-for-3 with three runs.

Freshman Sahara Tupua also continued to impress and was 2-for-4 with a walk, while junior Aubree Saunderson was 2-for-4 with a run.

Baty was also instrumental in the victory over Credo, pitching the entire game for the win allowing just six hits and one walk.

Kodi Meyer had a big game at the plate and finished 3-for-5 with a double and two runs.

Fellow senior Ella Jimenez was just as effective and also finished 3-for-5 with a double, while scoring three times.

The SB bats didn’t fare quite as well against Ukiah.

Mendoza was 1-for-1, while junior Hannah Finck finished 1-for -3 and scored a run.

Saunderson also had a double in the loss to cap a big weekend the plate.

The Crusaders, who are now 2-5, are scheduled to play at Eureka on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m.
