Griffins end year with pair of dominating
wins, have slim playoff hopes
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - By closing the Pacific Coast Conference season with
three consecutive victories, the Grossmont Griffins earned a tie
for second place with Imperial Valley and a slim shot at earning
a berth in Southern California Regional playoffs. Quite a turn
of events was this final week of the regular season.
After smothering San Diego City 12-2 on Friday (Apr. 22 in a game
not reported to EastCountySports.com), the Griffins concluded
the campaign by slapping San Diego Mesa 9-2 on Tuesday (Apr. 26).
Despite an overall mark of 16-11, which includes a 10-5 ledger
against PCC foes, it is unlikely that the Griffins will gain an
at-large berth into the postseason. None the less, Grossmont coach
RICK TRESTRAIL plans to attend the SoCal tourney seeding
meeting this weekend.
The main dig against the Griffins is they lost the season series
to IVC 2-1. Only the top two finishers are guaranteed a post-season
position.
DOMINIQUE DeLUCA (13-5) limited the Olympians to four hits
and did not allow an earned run in the finale. She was also 2-for-3
at the plate with 2 RBI.
"It was a tough year for us," said Grossmont assistant
coach ANA LANDEROS. "I believe we finished higher
in league than we expected. The girls deserve all the credit."

Griffins assured third-place finish after
crushing Jags
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - Grossmont College came from behind to whip visiting
Southwestern College 7-1 in a Pacific Coast Conference game Wednesday
(Apr. 20). The victory assures the Griffins of a third-place finish
in the conference.
"After losing both games last week, we really needed to have
this one," Grossmont assistant coach ANA LANDEROS
said.
LEAH TOURNEY doubled home BRE ALFORD and JESSICA
YONALLY to break a 1-1 tie and cap a three-run 3rd inning.
Grossmont (14-11, 8-5) made it 4-1 in the 5th inning as Alford
tripled over the center fielder's head and scored on Yonally's
single.
Yonally later punched in the Griffins' final run of a 3-run 6th
with a single.
DOMINIQUE DeLUCA scattered 7 hits to roll her record to
11-5.
Grossmont has two games remaining - Friday (Apr. 22) against San
Diego City College at Morley Field and Tuesday (Apr. 26) against
San Diego Mesa at home. Both games start at 3 p.m.

Griffins lose key PCC contest to Imperial
Valley
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - A third-place finish in the Pacific Coast Conference
is the best the host Grossmont College Griffins can hope for after
falling to second-place Imperial Valley 4-3 in Friday's (Apr.15)
PCC action.
Grossmont-s DOMINQUE DeLUCA deserved a better fate as she
rationed the Arabs (14-7-1, 9-4) to 9 hits and 2 earned runs but
still came up short.
With three games remaining, the Griffins (13-11, 7-5), need to
win only one game to secure third place and a winning record.
Grossmont hosts Southwestern on Wednesday (Apr. 20) at 3 p.m.,
face San Diego City at Morley Field on Friday (Apr. 22) before
closing out the campaign on Tuesday, Apr.26 by hosting San Diego
Mesa.

Comets rough up Griffins again
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - Palomar College, runaway leaders in the Pacific Coast
Conference race and odds-on favorites to take the state title,
bowled over the host Grossmont College Griffins like a wrecking
ball 12-0 on Wednesday (Apr. 13). Palomar (23-4, 10-0) has pulverized
all PCC foes to cross its path.
The Comets have clubbed the Griffins (13-10, 7-4) by a composite
41-0 score in their three meetings this season. The good news
is Grossmont does not have to face Palomar again this spring.
The Griffins' only hit in their latest bout with heavyweight Palomar
was a 4th inning single by ANGELA VIETS.
"Palomar has beaten us pretty bad three times this season,"
understated Grossmont assistant coach ANA LANDEROS.
Next up for the Griffins is a Friday (Apr. 15) home game against
Imperial Valley at 3 p.m.

DeLuca complete game gives Griffins sixth-straight
victory
EastCountySports.com
SAN DIEGO - DOMINIQUE DELUCA pitched a complete-game 5-hitter,
walked none and struck out 3 to carry the visiting Grossmont College
Griffins to a 2-1 Pacific Coast Conference victory over San Diego
Mesa College. It was the 6th straight win for the Griffins (13-9,
7-3), who stand third in the PCC.
All of the runs in the game were scored in the 2nd inning.
BREEANA ALFORD provided the spark for the Griffins with
a bunt single and stole second. ANGELA VIETS walked.
JESSICA YONALLY grounded into a fielder's choice,
which forced Alford at third.
Freshman JADE SHIPP was then hit by a pitch to load the
bases.
Mesa (9-20-1, 3-7) had a shot at an inning-ending double play
on an ensuing ground ball. The Olympians got a force at second
base, but the return throw to first base missed its mark. Two
runs scored on the error.
Shipp has now been hit eight times in her last three games, including
a national-collegiate record 5 rimes against SDCC on Wednesday.
The Griffins play a pair of home games next week, facing Palomar
on Wednesday (Apr. 13) and Imperial Valley on Friday (Apr. 15).
Both games start at 3 p.m.

EL CAJON - Grossmont College freshman JADE SHIPP took one
for the team - 5 times in fact - as the Griffins knocked out visiting
San Diego City College 15-4 in Wednesday's (Apr. 6) Pacific Coast
Conference encounter.
Shipp's bruises are a record for junior college softball. More
than that, historians are all but certain that Michelle Cowan's
hitting Shipp in all five of her at-bats is a record that includes
NCAA and NAIA.
Meanwhile, back to the game. Winning pitcher DOMINIQUE DELUCA
pitched a complete-game 4-hitter and went 3-for-4 with 3 RBI.
Grossmont's JESSICA YONALLY banged out a double and 2 singles
while scoring 3 runs and driving in a 4th.
In all, seven Grossmont batters were hit by a pitch as SDCC's
Cowan also walked 10 and gave up 10 hits.
Next up for the Griffins (12-9, 6-3) is a PCC game at San Diego

SAN MARCOS -- Without a doubt the Grossmont Griffins would like
to cancel any further meetings with Pacific Coast Conference powerhouse
Palomar College. For the second time in as many meetings, the
Comets drubbed the visiting Griffins 15-0 Friday afternoon (Mar.18).
The Comets did most of their damage in the 1st inning, scoring

on March 2, Palomar pulverized the Griffins (7-9, 4-3) 14-0.
Weather permitting, Grossmont will travel to Hemet on Saturday

Grossmont's best outing of campaign results
in sixth-inning rally for win
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - In what was probably their finest game of the season,
the Grossmont Griffins scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th
inning to upend visiting San Diego Mesa 4-3 in Wednesday's (Mar.
16) Pacific Coast Conference action.
The Griffins (7-8, 4-2) turned this one around with a two-out
rally in the bottom of the 6th inning. BRITTANY MYTINGER
hoisted a two-out double over the left fielder's head and DOMINIQUE
DeLUCA followed with a walk.
ANGELA VIETS then delivered one of the biggest hits of
the season for Grossmont, as her double drove in Mytinger and
DeLuca with the tying and winning runs in the 6th.
DeLuca spun a complete game 4-hitter and did not allow an earned
run.
Next up for the Griffins is a second shot at perennial power Palomar
in San Marcos on Friday (Mar. 18) at 3 p.m.

Grossmont defeats Southwestern 4-2
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON -- Most of the so-called experts counted out the Grossmont
Griffins before the first pitch was served. While the Griffins
have little to no chance of unseating perennial Palomar as the
Pacific Coast Conference champions, coach RICK TRESTRAIL's
Griffins plan to make waves.
KIM WHITLOW blasted a 3-run double in the first inning
and DOMINIQUE DeLUCA made it stand up with a complete
game pitching effort.

Griffins split pair with IVC
EastCountySports.com
IMPERIAL - The visiting Grossmont Griffins found some dry weather
for Friday's (Mar. 4) Pacific Coast Conference double-header at
Imperial Valley College (7-3,3-1). The Griffins gained a split,
swapping shutouts.
Grossmont got only two runners on base in game one as the Arabs
claimed a 9-0 nod. In game two, DOMINQUE DeLUCA pitched
a 4-hit shutout as Grossmont won 5-0.
The key statistic of the twinbill came in the 4th inning of the
second game with two outs and the Griffins leading 4-0. It involved
Grossmont shortstop JADE SHIPP. The sophomore fouled off
20 consecutive pitches before drawing a walk.
Next up for the Griffins (4-8, 1-2) is a PCC home game against
Southwestern on Wednesday (Mar.9) at 3 p.m.

Powerful Palomar pounds Griffins
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - The Grossmont Griffins found out Wednesday (Mar. 2)
why Palomar coach Mark Eldridge says this year's galaxy
of Comets is his best team in more than a decade. Palomar pounded
the host Griffins 14-0 in the Pacific Coast Conference opener
for both teams.
It was a long day for the Griffins (3-7, 0-1), who were rationed
to singles by BREANNA ALFORD and LEAH TOURNEY by
Palomar ace Amanda Martinez.
Palomar, a perennial state power, improved to 8-3 overall.
The Griffins travel to Imperial Valley for a PCC double-header
Friday (Mar. 4) beginning at noon.

EL CAJON: A fast start proved to be the difference for the
Grossmont Griffins, who hammered their way to a 9-0 lead after
2 innings of Saturday's (Feb.26) non-conference encounter against
visiting Allan Hancock. The Griffins were obliged to go the distance
as they did gladly en route to taming the Bulldogs 11-1.
LEAH TOURNEY drove in 3 runs with a pair of hits to guide the
Griffins (3-6), who pounded out 11 safeties to support the complete-game,
2-hit pitching of CHELSEA McKEEVER (1-3).
JESSICA YONALLY was 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI for the Griffins,
who also got two hits and 2 RBI from JADE SHIPP.

Sun shines, but Ventura dampens Griffins'
spirits in five
EastCountySports.com
SAN DIEGO --The rain has caused all of the softball teams in Southern
California a season's worth of problems in less than a month.
But the Griffins, taking advantage of a couple of days of consistent
sunshine, battled back from a 3-1 deficit Friday (Feb.25) only
to lose to Ventura College 4-3 on the strength of Julie Navarro's
solo home run in the bottom of the 5th inning. The game was halted
at that point due to a prearranged time limit.
Grossmont (2-6), which hosts Allan Hancock College of Santa Maria
on Saturday (Feb. 26) at 2 p.m., was paced by the hitting of DOMINIQUE
DeLUCA who garnered 3 of the Griffins' 7 hits. JESSICA YONALLY
also had a pair of hits for the Griffins.

Griffins are swept despite rallies against
MSJC
EastCountySports.com
HEMET - The Grossmont Griffins staged two 7th-inning rallies here
Friday (Feb. 4). Both of them fell short as host Mount San Jacinto
College swept a non-conference doubleheader over the Griffins,
6-3 and 8-7.
Griffins pitcher DOMINQUE DeLUCA was 4-for-8 in the twinbill,
driving in two runs and scoring twice herself. She was tagged
with the loss in the first game, however. JESSICA YONALLY
whacked a pair of doubles in the opener.
Grossmont's KIM WHITLOW was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles
and a triple in the nightcap. She drove in two runs.
Despite pounding out five extra-base hits and receiving six walks,
the Griffins were dealt their 4th loss in five starts in the nightcap.

Griffins make contact, but can't get hits
against Santa Ana
EastCountySports.com
EL CAJON - This is a game that Grossmont College coach RICK TRESTRAIL
would just as soon forget. The visiting Santa Ana College Dons
rocked the Griffins 8-0 Thursday (Feb. 3) at Grossmont.
While the Dons were pounding out 11 hits, the Griffins were generating
just two.
"We just couldn't find any holes and they played good defense,"
said Grossmont assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "Their pitcher
didn't have much but we just couldn't hit her."
Sophomore CHELSEA McKEEVER (Mountain Empire) had 10 strikeouts
for the Griffins.
"Chelsea pitched OK but she would get behind in the count
and they would sit on her," said Landeros.
Seven innings is the longest McKeever has pitched in two seasons
at Grossmont.
Grossmont's hits were singles by freshman JESSICA YONALLY (Valhalla)
in the 1st inning and sophomore catcher JADE SHIPP (Mount Miguel)
in the 6th.
Grossmont (1-2) travels to Mt. San Jacinto for a double-header

Griffins fall behind, then rally falls just
short
EastCountySports.com
LONG BEACH - For what was supposed to be a "down" or
"off" year for the Grossmont College softball team,
coach RICK TRESTRAIL's Griffins are starting the year with a little
more pizzazz than predicted.
Coming off a powerful 26-14-2 season a year ago, the Griffins
were ticketed for a rebuilding season this spring.
Grossmont put the squeeze on Orange Coast in the season opener
and then hit the road and nearly upset one of the perennial state
powers Tuesday (Feb. 1) at Long Beach City College before falling
4-3.
After falling behind 4-0 in the first 4 innings, the Griffins
scrambled back to shave the deficit to one run before running
out of time.
"We could have had them," said Grossmont assistant coach
ANA LANDEROS. "Our bats came alive too late. Coach Trestrail
was really aggressive. But mentally, I think we were intimidated."
In 2005 despite an atypical season under head coach Shellie McCall,
the LBCC Vikings made their 13th straight postseason appearance,
but failed to qualify for the state championship tournament for
the first time since 1996.
It appears that the Vikings are geared for a return to the limelight.
Grossmont hosts Santa Ana on Thursday (Feb. 3) at 3 p.m. and then
hits the road for a twinbill against Mount San Jacinto on Friday
(Feb. 4) in Hemet.

DeLuca dodges drops to spin season-opening
one-hitter
East County Sports.com
EL CAJON - Grossmont College freshman pitcher DOMINIQUE DeLUCA
dodged the rain drops in Friday's (Jan. 28) season-opener, spinning
a 1-hitter as the Griffins rocked visiting Orange Coast College
11-1 in the first game of a scheduled double-header. The second
game was postponed as the rain intensified, and the game probably
won't be played until next week.
DeLuca also went 1-for-3 and scored 3 runs. ANGELA VIETS pounded
out a double and two singles in 4 at-bats, while KIM WHITLOW chipped
in with an RBI double and a sacrifice fly.
Grossmont collected only 6 hits, but capitalized on 9 walks and
9 passed balls to turn the game into a rout.
DeLuca finished her complete game effort with 6 strikeouts and
4 walks.
Grossmont travels to Long Beach for a non-conference game on Tuesday
