SOFTBALL: Ventura College softball pitcher Alex Thorp has been on a tear as of late, in the batter's box. The sophomore continued that hot streak Thursday as she went 4-4 with two RBI as Ventura easily defeated cross-county rival Moorpark 14-1 in the East County. Alex was also the winning pitcher against the Raiders. Meanwhile Roxanne Lopez had three hits, including a home run, with three RBI and Ashley Thorp also had a round-tripper with two RBI. Sabrina Cerda recorded a double with a pair of RBI, as well, for VC (18-15-1, 9-4).
Ventura heads to Mt. San Antonio for a double-header on Friday April 11 in a make-up of an earlier rain-out. The first game begins at 4;00 pm while the nightcap will finish under the lights, beginning at 6:00 pm. VC returns home on Tuesday April 15 for a double-dip with Santa Barbara.
