CYPRESS, CA - The Chargers honored alumni from four different decades prior to first pitch, recognizing the program's legacy and impact. Former student-athletes participated in a pregame ceremony and remained in attendance to support the current squad. Participants from Cypress's youth softball league were also involved and threw out the first pitch.
Cypress jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the first inning before erupting for four runs in the second and three more in the third to take full control of the game.
Offensively, the Chargers were led by a balanced attack that produced 11 hits. Lynsey Arostigue paced Cypress with a perfect 2-for-2 performance, scoring twice and driving in a run. Peyton Clark delivered a standout effort at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a triple and two RBIs. Hailey Rice also contributed in a big way, finishing 2-for-2 with a double and two RBIs, while Isabela Guerrero added two hits and scored twice.
Additional contributions came from Isabella Rodriguez, who drove in a run, and Alina Argueta, who added an RBI and executed a sacrifice to help extend innings.
In the circle, Mia Alvarez delivered a strong outing, pitching a complete five innings while allowing just one run on five hits and striking out four to earn the win.
Defensively, Cypress remained steady throughout, limiting Compton's chances and backing Alvarez with solid play in the field.
The Alumni Day celebration added extra significance to the victory, as current players competed in front of those who helped build the program. The strong turnout and pregame ceremony highlighted the lasting connection between past and present Chargers.
