Just a pair of games on the docket this week sat in front of the Gilroy High softball team. After the dust of what proved to be a whirlwind week of sorts settled, the Mustangs evened their Tri-County Athletic League mark at 2-2 with an 11-0 nod over Everett Alvarez in five innings on Tuesday. However, the turn to the weekend didn’t go as smoothly as GHS dropped a 4-3 decision to nonleague opponent and West Catholic Athletic League representative Presentation on Thursday.

The Gilroy High boys volleyball team knew it had to contend with Monterey High kill leader, Stephen Dorsey. That challenge isn't new to the Mustangs or any opponent, really. Dorsey, a state meet medalist in the high jump last season, will get his points. He registered an unassuming 17 kills in an otherwise even matchup between the Tri-County Athletic League's last two league champions Tuesday night.

Having lost five of its last seven outings, the Gavilan College softball team earned the pick-me-up it needed, sending off visiting Mission College 8-0 in six innings Tuesday in Gilroy.

Gavilan College pitcher Shea Adams said he woke up Monday morning feeling a bit under the weather. After his masterpiece on the bump Monday afternoon, Hartnell College hitters probably wished the right hander had stayed in bed and far, far away from the field.

Through four innings, the rivalry game between San Benito and Gilroy on Thursday was scoreless, but hardly lacked in offensive chances.
