SALINAS – Outscoring its opponents by a 2-to-1 ratio, the 11U Gilroy Chaos Blue executed a 5-1 run through the first Amateur Softball Association tournament of the 2010 season held at the Salinas Sports Complex during the weekend of Sept. 12.
Head coach George Sandoval said that his team posted 54 runs over the weekend event while surrendering just 21 total runs, giving up no more than six runs in any game.
The Chaos bolted out of the chutes in Game 1, beating the Salinas Storm 10-2 behind a strong pitching performance from Anna Gamboa and an offense that produced 11 hits. Gamboa was credited with a no-hitter, with the two runs coming via walks.
Gilroy again came out swinging in its second game, leading off the top of the first inning with back-to-back-to-back home runs. The Chaos scored in double digits for the second straight game, defeating the Carmel Stingers 11-5.
After dropping its third game to the Milpitas Renegades 6-5, the Chaos rebounded with ease sending the San Jose Thunder packing with a 15-0 thrashing. Pati Soria went 3-3 with one home run, Maria Sandoval also went 3-for-3, and Gamboa had three base-knocks and a homer, as the Chaos pounded out 12 hits in the game.
The Chaos wrapped up its stay in Salinas with victories over San Jose Tabu and the Stingers 6-3 and
7-3, respectively.
Anjelica Reyes was the Chaos’ overall offensive leader with 10 hits including a double and a triple.
