PROVIDENCE
The Pioneers lost to visiting Santa Paula, 5-2, in a CIF-Southern Section Division V game last week. Providence concluded its outstanding campaign as undefeated Prep League champions with a 12-0 record (20-6 overall) while outscoring its league opponents 144-15.
Head coach Manuel Travieso said it best — the Pioneers had “a very special season” scattered with individual highlights.
Junior Breanna Pelaez broke San Dimas’ Ariel Shore’s 2009 CIF-SS single-season record with 80 stolen bases in 25 games. Pelaez’s three steals in the final game of the regular season propelled her past the previous record of 78. Pelaez was selected first-team all-league and finished the season with a .562 batting average, a 1.141 OPS, and team-best marks in runs (53) and hits (45).
Sophomore Delailah Lopez was the league’s MVP after posting team-best marks in batting average (.573), OPS (1.499), RBIs (38) and home runs (four). Meanwhile, junior teammate Olyvia Rutter was the league’s Pitcher of the Year after compiling a career-best 1.77 ERA with 102 strikeouts and an 11-3 record over 87 innings. She racked up 10 complete games, including three shutouts, while holding opponents to a .208 batting average.
Junior Grace Workman, who was selected second-team all-league after posting a 2.73 ERA with 70 strikeouts over 43.2 innings, twirled a 13-strikeout perfect game against Faith Baptist of Canoga Park on April 3. She committed to continuing her academic and athletic career at Westcliff University in Irvine.
Sophomore Valentina Clemons had a career game against Fairfax High of Los Angeles on April 19 when she tossed her first career no-hitter while racking up 16 strikeouts. Sophomore Gloria Galindo earned first-team honors while juniors Malia Rode and Belen Benito were second-team selections.
