San Jacinto-South's Coyotes swept a non-conference doubleheader from Navarro here Tuesday.
While extending their winning streak to nine games, San Jacinto-South (14-3) rode the arms of routegoing starters Catalina Cavazos and Ronni Groffman, who limited Navarro to three hits in each game.
SJC's 5-2 and 8-0 wins spoiled the Bulldogs' home-season debut at Jesse and Lou Cummings Field.
GAME 1 -- SAN JACINTO 5, NAVARRO 2
Cavazos pitched a three-hitter and Maggie Childs led San Jacinto's 11-hit attack with a two-run double as the Coyotes defeated Navarro in Game 1.
Cavazos struck out six and walked one in a route-going performance that secured the Coyotes' eighth straight win.
First baseman Alexis Uresti doubled and later stole home to score SJC's first-inning run. Navarro countered in its half when shortstop London Reue (HBP) came around to score when Alanna Islas singled under the glove of SJC second baseman Tabby Burnett.
Gabby Cantu's two-run double in the second and Childs' two-run double in the third gave the Coyotes a 5-1 lead.
Navarros's Tatum Briggs slugged a solo home run to left in the bottom of the third.
