Sierra racked up three straight one-run wins, including two by 2-1 margins on Saturday, to claim the “Pool A” championship in the Ceres Tournament held at Riverbank’s Rainbow Fields.

The Timberwolves, who remain perfect at 7-0, first dispatched two-time defending Sac-Joaquin Section Division V champion Hughson. They scored the tying and go-ahead runs in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.

Allison Walljasper drove in one of those runs, finishing 1 for 1 with two walks while striking out 11 in from the pitcher’s circle. Sommer Wilson smacked a double for Sierra’s other score, and leadoff hitter Iyana Hughes went 2 for 4.

In its final contest Saturday night, Kaitlyn Perkins delivered the big blow with a two-run double in the first inning. Walljasper pitched the first two innings and struck out four, while Wilson threw the final four and also fanned four.

“Overall it was a good tournament, and we were able to get everybody plenty of playing time,” Sierra coach Nick Olmo said. “We beat some good teams today, which should help us as we go into league.”

Sierra takes on another 7-0 club in visiting Ripon on Wednesday. Argonaut visits for the Timberwolves’ final pre-league contest before challenging reigning Valley Oak League champion Oakdale on the road on March 20.
