Senators blow away bad memories from day before
RENO -- On a day when the wind was gusting up to 40 mph, coupled with occasional rain and snow flurries, Carson High softball coach Scott Vickrey knew better than to expect an ordinary game against Galena.
"I told the kids nothing would be routine today, and the team that puts the ball in play the most would walk out of here with a win," Vickrey said.
Make that two wins, as the Senators pounded out 24 hits and rode two complete game pitching performances from Daria Leid to sweep a Sierra League double header at Galena on Friday afternoon, 11-7 and 14-4. Call it a measure of redemption for the Senators (5-4 league, 6-6 overall) and Leid, who watched Galena score five runs in the sixth inning to rally for an 8-3 victory at Carson on Thursday.
