." I understood I had to be much better this time around.
". De Nava was fired up for the rematch. She tossed a one-hitter with 13 strikeouts and retired the final 14 batters
to outduel Valley View's Janessa Santos, as the Bears pulled out a 1-0 victory Monday afternoon to clinch the Ivy League champion." I feel we had the momentum on our side, being at house today. We constantly get actually pumped up for our house games," stated De Nava, a junior who enhanced

her record to 19-1 and upped her strikeout total to 205. "There was a lot of pressure on me, however I didn't let that get to me. I just kept throwing my finest pitches and getting my task done.

". De Nava had to be at her finest because Santos likewise remained in leading type, firing a two-hitter with 7 strikeouts. Poly coach Robert Sakaguchi stated De Nava mixed her pitches well and did not rely as much on her rise ball Monday." We talked on Saturday and she was positive. She said she was not going to let something like let that occur again, "Sakaguchi stated. "I believe her changing up her arsenal
and utilizing all of her pitches really tossed their batters off.". Valley View( 19-5-1, 5-2 in league )had runners at first and 2nd in the third inning after Jacqueline Divine singled with one out and Santos was plunked by a pitch. De Nava got a ground out and

a strikeout to end the threat. Poly( 21-1-1, 7-1) did not get a runner past first base through the first 5 innings of the game. Reina Gonzalez, who was one of the three elders honored prior to the video game, led off the sixth inning with a triple down the right-field line." I think people tend to ignore the No. 9 hitter," said Gonzalez, a center fielder who collected both of Poly's hits Monday afternoon." I prayed prior to that at-bat, and I'm so delighted God was on my side and I had the ability to come through

for my group.". Corina Jaimes then hit a hard ground ball to 2nd base. Valley View's Madison Barrios made a good play to keep the ball in the infield and get the out in the beginning base, but Gonzalez scampered house with the go-ahead run for the Bears. De Nava made certain the run stood up, as she got two fly outs and a strikeout to secure the league and the victory title. "I felt on top of the world at that minute, "De Nava said." I enjoyed having the ball in my hands in a huge video game.

". Valley View's Daiyah Bailey and Poly's Maddy Cortez made incredible diving catches in left field to rob one another of hits.

Bailey's catch ended the 3rd inning, and Cortez's catch was the second out in the sixth inning
. Valley View is locked into 2nd location in the league standings and will travel to Temescal Canyon on Wednesday.
