La Jolla was loose and rocking, building a 5-1 lead through the first half of the game on consistent hitting, fine pitching from Kira Ferenczy, and solid defense.
Then the Vikings exploded in the sixth inning on offense to put away an 11-1 game, called during the inning once the hosts plated their 11th run. That put the 10-run rule into effect.
The non-league game was played at La Jolla Wed., April 27, under cloudy skies with sun breaking through much of the time.
"That's good we won. We need to build some momentum for Friday's (league) game against Mission Bay," said assistant/scorekeeper Gary Sinkeldam.
Third baseman Linda "LB" Brown, now a junior, has returned to full play after hurting her ankle earlier this month.
La Jolla defeated Montgomery last year also. That was a year of new beginnings for the Vikings, who enjoyed the most success they'd had in years on the Westbourne St. diamond. This season has seen a building on that foundation.
