Monterey delivered a statement performance Saturday, dominating Carmel 16-0 behind a relentless first inning and complete control in all phases.
The Toreadores erupted for 10 runs in the opening frame, capitalizing on walks, timely RBI singles from Leah Haedrich and Kai Manglona, and a two-run single from Jenna Deese to seize immediate command. Monterey never allowed the game to settle.
The offense continued to apply pressure, with Anaiyah Brown launching a solo home run in the second and Denae Lee crushing a two-run homer in the fourth. Deese finished a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBIs as Monterey piled up 14 hits and seven walks.
Nicole Seal handled the rest in the circle, tossing a three-hit shutout over five innings while the defense turned a double play and committed no errors to cap a dominant performance from start to finish.
