1. (2) MISSION VIEJO 17-2
All the complications involving that Mission Viejo-Los Alamitos halted game at the Michelle Carew Classic from two weeks ago are now out the door since Los Al dropped a game last week to Huntington Beach. Instead, the Diablos become an easy choice to move to No. 1 following two wins and will play Orange Lutheran (now No. 2 in the state this week) on Friday in the rescheduled Carew Classic. In a 9-2 win last week vs. Capistrano Valley of Mission Viejo, Terra McGowan homered whie Camryn Ybarra went 2-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored. The Diablos also won last week 12-0 vs. El Toro. Before playing the Lancers, they also have league games this week against Trabuco Hills of Mission Viejo and Dana Hills of Dana Point.
