Conquering has become a habit for the Conquerors when it comes to softball these last two years.
The Desert Christian Academy softball squad completed back-to-back undefeated Victory League campaigns, storming to another title with a 23-0 victory over Joshua Springs in their regular-season finale Tuesday.
Kaylee Espinoza and Kristen Ranswill combined on the no-hit shutout. Offensively, it’s fair to say Desert Christian Academy had a hot start. How does 16 runs in the first inning sound? Kaylee Espinoza was 4-for-4 with four runs scored. Jahzell Estrada was 4-for-4 with two runs, three doubles, a triple and six RBIs. Ashley Klopfenstein had three hits, a double, triple, run scored and stolen base. Senior Kelsey Bazua had two hits, three runs and four RBIs on senior night. Maycee Jones added two runs and an RBI.
The Conquerors finish the regular season 18-2-1 and 10-0 in league play and await the Division 6 playoff brackets which is released on Monday.
