Sisters Kindra and Maddi Hackbarth put on a hitting clinic Wednesday at Oakdale, helping the host Mustangs blast Sierra 11-4 in a duel of Valley Oak League contenders.

They accounted for eight of Oakdale’s 15 knocks with each going 4 for 4. Kindra plated four runs and legged out a triple. Maddi had two triples, a double and six RBIs.

“They got most of their RBIs,” Sierra coach Vic DeAnda said. “They hit the ball real well. We just couldn’t get them out.”

Sierra (4-2 VOL, 10-3 overall) matched the Mustangs (5-1, 11-5), finishing with 11 of their own. Leadoff batter Devi Coglio was 3 for 3 with three runs and a triple, Kendelle Messersmith drove in two and was 3 for 3 and Tayler Moss finished 2 for 4.

“Our biggest problem was we left a lot of runners on base and (Oakdale) executed when they needed to score,” DeAnda said. “We also had three errors that hurt us, errors in the outfield. We just can’t give at team like that extra chances.

“Not taking anything away from Oakdale. That’s a great team and they were the better team today.”
