Wildcat senior hurler Ryan Stevenson tossed 4 2/3 innings and allowed one hit, one walk, one unearned run while striking out 10 in earning his seventh victory of the season.

“Ryan had a nice game for his final one at home,” said Wildcat head coach Scott Johnson. “He could have thrown the complete game, but I took my seniors out in the middle of the inning to honor them.”

Through six holes on Monday at the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV Golf Tournament at Castle Oaks, Sonora sophomore Billy Kiriluk couldn’t get a putt to fall and things weren’t going all that well. He was 3-over and his coach saw him shake his head bogeying the ninth hole.

“He started out and his putts weren’t falling and he was pretty frustrated,” said Wildcat head coach Steve Lee. “But Billy’s a fighter. He could have easily gone in the tank, but he fought back and started sinking putts.”

Kiriluk followed his frustrating beginning with a scoring rampage. It was a scoring streak of which Tiger Woods would have been proud. He began his round on hole No. 4 and was 3-over starting the back nine.

He finished that next nine in just 30 strokes! Yeah, 30 — 5-under-par. He birdied three straight at one time, Nos. 12, 13 and 14.

Alex Milward is a master again.

The Bret Harte Bullfrog senior shot a 6-over-par 78 at the Division V Golf Tournament Monday at Stevinson Ranch Golf Club to advance to the prestigious Masters tournament next week for the second straight season.

“It’s a great accomplishment for Alex to qualify two years in-a-row,” said Bret Harte head coach Rich Cathcart.

“That first pitch was inside and close to my shoulder,” the senior lead-off hitter said, “and I was really mad at myself I didn’t let it hit me so we could get a run.”

While getting hit to bring the Bears a run closer may have seemed like a good idea, his decision to turn away was even better.

Redskin pitcher Megan Walters scattered four hits and struck out 10 in her complete game effort. She also helped herself by going 2 for 4 at the plate, including a double and triple that drove in a combined three runs.

“I’ve been struggling a little bit at the plate and I’m finally getting back in the groove,” Walters said. “It’s nice to hit the ball and score some runs to help me out as a pitcher. It gives me and our defense some slack.”

The term “6-peat” seems almost unreal as winning 97 straight league matches. 

But that’s Bret Harte golf.

The Bullfrogs concluded their unbelievable regular season Thursday by winning the Mother Lode League Championship tournament at La Contenta to clinch their sixth consecutive league title.

Don’t worry, the Summerville Bears boys’ basketball team is not missing — but its logo will be featured on a limited run of Crystal Creamery milk cartons in the coming weeks.

The Modesto-based company is releasing the cartons to commemorate the winning teams of all six divisions in the Sac-Joaquin Section this season, including the Division IV champion Bears.

“We, at Crystal Creamery, are pleased to provide this opportunity to recognize the hard work and sacrifice put forth by each athlete, the coaches and the players’ families,” said Frank Otis, the company’s president.

The Calaveras Redskins girls’ soccer team overcame a flurry of distractions this week to pull off an emotional 3-1 come-from-behind victory over the visiting Argonaut Mustangs on Senior Night at Frank Meyer Field.

Just last weekend, a Valley Springs 8-year-old was found stabbed to death in her own home and authorities are still searching for the suspect. The team also recently lost two starting defenders, one to injury and the other an honor code violation.

“It was a really emotional night with the candlelight vigil (for the slain child) going on across town, the loss of two key players and it being the final home game for our seniors,” said Calaveras head coach Rob Leetham. “But I was proud of the girls. WIth all those distractions, they came out and played one of their best games of the year.”

After staying close through most of the game, the Sonora Wildcats lost 8-2 to Oakdale on Tuesday at Bev Barron Field.

The Wildcats were trying to throw a wrench in the Mustangs’ plan of a seventh consecutive Valley Oak League title and trailed just 3-2 heading into the seventh inning.

“We played one of our better games this year,” said Wildcat head coach Scott Johnson. “We were right there and the kids were battling. The score is not indicative of how well we played tonight.”
