Amador Valley will play College park in NCS Division I final on Saturday.
Amador Valley High pitcher Kaylee Davis and catcher McKenna Charbonneau celebrate their 6-1 NCS semifinal victory over California High School in San Ramon, Calif., on Tuesday, May 22, 2024. SAN RAMON — No team knew California, the reigning North Coast Section Division I champions, better than Amador Valley.
“The girls knew the adjustment that they had to make,” said Amador Valley coach Courtney Hennings. “We worked on it all week. It was about executing small ball, taking it one pitch at a time and moving the runners. Kaylee Davis really shut it down on the mound and the girls behind her picked her up with great plays.”Riya Sharda had two hits and two RBIs. Mai Falcone had a triple and an RBI. Cal pitcher Kaitlyn Li didn’t allow a hit and recorded a walk in her first four innings pitched.
“I think we really just built off our runs,” Davis said. “We had to bring our energy back up, we were kind of falling down. We just built off our hits and we went up from there.” Cal’s quest to become the first team to win back-to-back Division I championships since Amador Valley did it in 2014-15 fell short, but Grizzlies’ coach Tony Bari said he was proud of the way his group competed all year.
