Her homerun occurred in top of the 1st, it was a shot heard around the mountain as it set the tone for the game as they went on to win 8-4. On Saturday the Bears lost to Calaveras, in a hard fought battle Melina Antonio '28 and Vivianna Reyes '28 kept the bats alive and really lead the team in keeping the energy up with solid hits. In the final game Mercy beat Amador 5-3.
