The Bishop’s School softball team used a nine-run fourth inning last week en route to an 11-2 win over Mountain Empire. Nicole Herman picked up the win for Bishop’s (9-5, 1-1), which has been getting some great efforts to date from several players. More than halfway through the season, Briana Martinez continues to lead the team with a .500 batting average and eight home runs, while Natalie Camarda is batting .405 and Leyna Rowan is batting .387. Rounding out the top five are Gabby Salerno and Alex Mejia, both batting .359. “We’re off to a good start this year but face two of the toughest teams in the county in our five-team league: Francis Parker, ranked fourth in the county, and Horizon, ranked fifth in the county,” Bishop’s head coach Jim Buechler said. “Obviously, we have our work cut out for us this year, especially when it comes to league play.” Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day School won its second game of the season last Friday with a 13-0 shutout of Santa Fe Christian. Brittany Dawson picked up the victory for LJCD (2-7-2). University City High comes into play this week with a record of 8-5-2. The Lady Centurions rolled last Thursday to a 7-1 win over Clairemont, as Amanda Hansen registered the victory for UC. Finally, La Jolla High fell to Point Loma 9-1 in other action last Thursday.
