In a home encounter with visiting Montgomery, first baseman Roxanne Metcalf and centerfielder JC Taylor demonstrated some skills as they flexed their muscles and got a little more comfortable in the Vikings' second contest of the young season Mon., Feb. 27.
Metcalf, with her dad watching from beyond first base, clubbed a two-run basehit to give the La Jolla lineup a little power jolt. She was slotted in the fifth spot in the batting order.
JC Taylor looks at a low pitch
during her at-bat in the bottom
of the second. She hit in the
fourth slot in the lineup.
Meanwhile, Taylor, a stocky lefty who could play first base but there's really no need with her patrolling the outfield, walked her first time up, but then demonstrated some power in her swing that is going to pay long dividends for Coach Anthony Sarain's team this spring.
JC wears an "R" batting helmet she picked up from her play with Regulators, who are situated in Mira Mesa, according to her mother. Mom and dad came by for at least part of the game, after the heavy rains wiped out Thursday and Saturday.
