The Foothill Conference softball champions AVC Marauders (11-0) showed their pitching dominance shutting down 4-0 College of the Canyons Cougars as they win their eleventh straight game this season.

“I am excited,” said the starting ace Christian Carbajal (9-0) “It what every freshman wants for their team, and my team is backing me up.”

Carbajal who allowed 3 hits in seven innings shut down the Cougars and won her ninth game this season. She is ranked second in the Foothill Conference with an ERA of 1.11.

All nine of Carbajal’s wins have been shutouts.

“I haven’t seen the pressure get to her at all,” said Marauders head coach Cindy Vargas. “She actually thrives at that.”

The Marauders will go on the road for their next two games before they start their conference games on Feb 23.
