Josie Sinkeldam drove a walk-off game-winning hit into centerfield to score Sina Anae from second base in the bottom of the seventh as La Jolla won the CIF Division 4 championship game over Mission Bay, 2-1, Sat., May 27, at UCSD.
Anae, an all-around athlete, had almost been doubled off second on a popped-up bunt by Vanessa Shaffer just before her winning moment. Anae is in her first year of baseball, and didn't realize she had to get back to the bag until teammates yelled to her.
The Vikings, who had been denied in the title game last year, falling 5-0 to Christian in the final, had solved Buccaneer pitcher Cassidy West only for one run in the fourth inning before Sinkeldam's game-winner. West, an outstanding 5'10" freshman pitcher as well as hitter, struck out the side in the second and third innings, registering a streak of seven straight strikeouts.
