The Gilroy and Christopher gymnastics team stole the spotlight at league finals.

Christopher won its third straight game Tuesday and now has a winning record for the first time this season. 

Gilroy and Watsonville battled for 80 minutes, but needed extra time to decide a winner. 

Christopher was only able to muster up four hits against the Monterey Bay League-Gabilan Division leading San Benito during its 8-0 loss Tuesday at home.

GILROY — No matter what Christopher did, Cole Welle had an answer.

Santa Catalina had 35 straight wins heading into Thursday's contest against Christopher, but the Cougars put an end to that.  The Christopher girls golf team topped Santa Catalina 257-265 Thursday at Gilroy Golf Course.  Natalie Gutierrez scored at 47 to lead the Cougars against S.C. Julie Santiago shot a 52, Kylie Kuwada a 52, Nina Velez a 53, Alex Granados a 54 and Mia Navarro a 62. Navarro drove No. 17 green to get her first official birdie.  S.C.'s Chloe Corriveau was the medalist, shooting a 38.   CROSS COUNTRY

Robert Driscal went 4-for-4 with a double, an RBI and scored two runs to lead Christopher High’s baseball team to a 10-7 home win over Monterey on Tuesday.

GILROY—It was eerily silent as Jimmy Lemberger stood at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning. Josiah Wiley, the tying run, stood on second base and all Lemberger had to do was bring him home to keep Gilroy’s chances alive.

It’s been since 2006 that the Gilroy HIgh softball team has been able to best San Benito. But that doesn’t mean the Mustangs haven’t had their chances, and Tuesday that streak continued in Gilroy as the Balers made it 20 straight wins over their rival.

The season came to a close for two local teams Tuesday as both found themselves eliminated from the postseason.
