(Photo by Paul Rodriguez, Contributing Photographer)\n<\/div><span>Expand<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>FULLERTON \u2014 Cypress softball coach Terry Thompson knew Fullerton\u2019s standing atop the Orange County rankings entering the teams\u2019 clash in the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>He also knew the readiness of his squad after playing in the Crestview League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re truly battle tested,\u201d Thompson said of a league that placed all five of its teams in Division 1. \u201cEvery game is a meaningful, knockdown, drag out (competition). And seven wins won the league. That\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re playing good competition every couple days, you\u2019re going to rise up to that level,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Cypress soared Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Chach Stamper pitched a five-hitter with seven strikeouts and freshman leadoff batter Callie Kissell had three hits as the Centurions stunned No. 3 seeded Fullerton 4-2 in a first-round game at Fullerton High.<\/p>\n<p>Cleanup batter Hayden Warner added two RBI singles for No. 9 ranked Cypress (17-12), which plays host to Crestview League rival Pacifica in the second round Saturday at noon.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Centurions placed fourth in the league and earned an at-large berth to the playoffs. Pacifica (18-10) finished in a three-way tie for first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re ready,\u201d said Kissell, who played her second consecutive game at shortstop. \u201cWe just need to play as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all happy we get to play another game together,\u201d she added. \u201cThis gave us a big boost for (Saturday).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cypress showed its enthusiasm after Stamper struck out the final batter with the tying run at the plate. Catcher Makayla Dietrich framed the called strike as the Centurions swarmed their junior ace in the infield.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cypress celebrated a well-rounded, wire-to-wire performance. The team played errorless defense, received a running catch in center from Cameron Gill and outhit Fullerton 8-5.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=6899\">Huntington Beach baseball loses to Harvard-Westlake in Division 1 playoffs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team just needed to come together and trust all the work we\u2019ve put in,\u201d said Stamper, who walked one. \u201cWe knew we could do it but we also knew that nobody was expecting us to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cypress opened a 2-0 lead in the third on consecutive RBI singles by Tia Hernandez and Warner.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth, the Centurions took advantage of an error by Fullerton (24-4) to extend their advantage to 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>After Dietrich drew a one-out walk, pinch runner Morgan Anderson took second on a passed ball. Anderson raced home after No. 9 batter Emma Din forced an errant throw on an infield single.<\/p>\n<p>With Kissell up next, Fullerton coach Trevor Holton inserted Malaya Majam-Finch to pitch for starter Katelynn Mathews.<\/p>\n<p>Majam-Finch escaped the inning to spark the Indians. In the sixth, Ava Flores singled in Hayley Brock and Soleil Luna to trim Cypress\u2019 lead to 3-2.<\/p>\n<p>But Stamper recovered and Warner added a two-out RBI single in the seventh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just told myself to compete,\u201d Stamper said. \u201cOur league is tough. If you don\u2019t constantly compete, you\u2019re going to lose games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew they could come in and beat us,\u201d Holton said of Cypress. \u201cThey were ready to play and we weren\u2019t. And injuries (to Kaylyn Yi and Melia Vera) hurt us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Majam-Finch, a senior who is committed to Oklahoma, allowed one run on two hits and struck out six in 3 2\/3 innings. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of our (senior) class (and) this team especially,\u201d she said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=6897\">Sunny Hills boys volleyball defeats Royal to win second CIF-SS title<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chach Stamper pitches a five-hitter and Callie Kissell has three hits for the Centurions, who play Pacifica in the second round Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
