Yuba City also got a strong performance from senior Chloe Gonzales who went 4 for 4 with three doubles and two RBI in addition to making a great defensive play on a ball hit in the 5-6 hole that she stabbed on the backhand and threw out the runner from her knees.

Sophomore Danika Alvarez finished 2 for 4 with a pair of RBI.

Following up the next day, the Honkers blew out Marysville 14-0.
