(Alhambra) – Alashanee Medina delivered a complete game three hit shutout with no\u00a0walks while strking out 13\u00a0batters and\u00a0also went two for three\u00a0at the plate to lead Keppel to a 2-0 win over Alhambra\u00a0in a a key Almont league contest Thursday.<\/p>\n
The two runs Keppel scored in the fourth almost didn’t happen at all, had it not been for some miscues.<\/p>\n
Karen Liang popped a single to right and stole her way to third\u00a0to lead off the Lady Aztecs. Afterwards, with one out, Brianna Jimenez was hit by a pitch and\u00a0then stole second.<\/p>\n
Sammie Mendez then hit a\u00a0low liner that was caught by Lady Moor shortstop Angela Provencio, who appeared to have a double play at second\u00a0but it was mishandled at the end, sending the ball to shallow left and allowing Lieng to coast home.<\/p>\n
Jimenez took flight as well and beat the throw at third before breezing to the plate as that play missed its target also.<\/p>\n
Alhambra’s leadoff batters got on and reached third\u00a0in the fourth and sixth\u00a0innings but were cut off on groundout plays by Medina and Vanessa Mendez, with a pair of Medina strikeouts preceding them.<\/p>\n
Keppel improved to 12-2 overall and is\u00a0one game back\u00a0 (3-1) of league leader Schurr (4-0). Alhambra fell to 9-5 on the year and 2-2 in league.<\/p>\n
