The Ventura College softball team won three Western State Conference Gold Division games over county rivals by a combined margin of 38-3 this past week. Leading the charge was pitcher Alex Thorp. She batted a 8-11 against Oxnard and Moorpark with seven RBI and four runs scored. In the pitcher's circle she shut down the Condors and Raiders, allowing just three earned runs in 19 innings of work, with 13 strikeouts. The sophomore from Nordhoff High School in Ojai had been named this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
