EL CAJON (3-11-10) — Sophomore outfielder AMBER BEEBE hit a ball deep into the night, catapulting Grossmont College to yet another Pacific Coast Athletic Conference victory.

The Santana High product capped Wednesday's (Mar. 10) ballgame with a walkoff grand slam, lifting the Griffins to a 10-0 decision over visiting San Diego City College. The slam activiated the run rule, ending the ballgame in the bottom of the 5th inning.

Grossmont (12-1, 4-0 PCAC) has now won 10 consecutive contests, one shy of the school record. The G-House will get a shot at the milestone on Friday (Mar. 12) when they host San Diego Mesa, a team they have defeated eight straight times over the past four seasons (and 18 of 21 since 2003).

Beebe's slam was the second Grossmont homer of the inning.

Leading 4-0, KYLEE WILSON opened the 5th by reaching on an error, then ANGELA LOVELADY clouted her third homer of the week (5th overall) to make it 6-0.

CAITLIN AIMALEFOA continued the rally with a single through the left side of the infield, ALYSSA TAYLOR was hit by a pitch, then MELANIE GOFF registered an infield single to load the bases. Beebe followed with her slam, allowing the Griffins to remain one game in front of Mesa in the PCAC standings.

The Olympians kept pace by edging Southwestern, 4-3 in 8 innings, while third-place Palomar erased Imperial Valley , 20-2.

Grossmont scored twice in its first two trips to the plate to secure an early lead.

In the 1st, Taylor clubbed a two-run double over the left fielder, bringing home BRITT WRIGHT (walk, stolen base) and Lovelady (single), who matched Beebe with a 2-for-3 outing at the plate.

An inning later, HEATHER BREWER tripled to right. Wright answered with an RBI double to left-center, eventually scoring on a sacrifice fly by Wilson .

Meanwhile, Goff posted her second shutout of the season in a 2-hit performance. Goff struck out 7 over 5 innings and walked just one. Three different Griffins pitchers have tossed shutouts this season.

Lovelady's second HR halts Hawks

ORANGE (3-9-10) — Freshman shortstop ANGELA LOVELADY almost didn't get a chance to become a hero Monday (Mar. 8), when the entire Southern California community college softball schedule was rained out – except for one game.

Playing on the new $2.3-million softball complex at Rancho Santiago College, which comes complete with an artificial playing surface, Lovelady's second homer of the game unlocked a 7th-inning tie, lifting Grossmont College to a 5-3 non-conference decision over the host Hawks.

The homer extended the team's winning streak to nine games and gave the Griffins (11-1) their best start in school history.

On opening day, Lovelady smacked two homers, but over a pair of contests in a doubleheader sweep at the Glendale Tournament. This time, she hit book-end shots, sending a drive to center field in the 1st, then a 2-run shot to left to break a 3-3 tie.

The second homer was needed after Rancho Santiago rallied from a 3-0 deficit with three runs in the 6th, including a pair of unearned markers. Included was the game-tying run when Grossmont missed the tag on a rundown at third base, so when a throw then went to second base to catch the batter for what should've been a double play, the runner at third took off for the plate and scored.

"We were talking about that play in the dugout - we all wondered what happened," noted assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "But we didn't let it bother us."

Grossmont promptly responded with a leadoff double by BRITT WRIGHT. Two batters later, Lovelady went to left field with her fourth homer of the season, giving the pitching victory to MELANIE GOFF.

Following Lovelady's first homer, Grossmont expanded its lead with single runs in the 5th and 6th innings.

AMBER BEEBE led off the 5th with a base hit. She advanced to third on groundouts by HEATHER BREWER and Wright, then scored on a double over the center-fielder's head by KYLEE WILSON.

An inning later, ALYSSA TAYLOR singled to center, then Goff registered a basehit to right. A ground ball moved both runners into scoring position, with Beebe then capping a 3-for-3 performance with an RBI single to plate Taylor.

CHULA VISTA (3-6-10) — Following an emotional victory over Palomar the inevitable letdown definitely occurred, with the Grossmont College bats sleeping soundly.

However, Southwestern College allowed the Griffins off the hook after the Jaguars hit KELLEY SEITZ with a pitch with the bases loaded in the 8th inning, giving Grossmont a 2-1 nod in Pacific Coast Athletic Conference action Friday (Mar. 5).

The victory gives the Griffins (10-1) their best start in school history (9-1 last season, and 8-0 in 2007), and not only leaves them in first place in the PCAC, they are the only ballclub with a winning conference record (pending two late contests which have not been reported).

"We had trouble adjusting to their pitcher," noted Griffins assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "She wasn't terribly fast, but Southwestern wasn't hitting either."

Griffins pitcher MELANIE GOFF finished with her second consecutive 3-hitter, but two of the hits occurred in the 5th when the Jaguars tied the contest, including an RBI double by Jessica Mendoza, who got in front of a riseball on a shot to centerfield to score Vivianne Atkins.

Grossmont struck early when BRITT WRIGHT opened the ballgame with a walk, then circled the bases on a stolen base, followed by an illegal pitch, then a run-scoring basehit to left by ANGELA LOVELADY.

The fateful 8th looked like another scoreless frame when KYLEE WILSON, who was hit by a pitch, was out at the plate on the relay following Lovelady's double to center field. However, the Griffins were the receivers of several gifts to break the deadlock.

CAITLIN AIMALEFOA walked, then Lovelady and pinchrunner ADRIANA CRUZ advanced into scoring position on a passed ball. Following a pop out, ALYSSA TAYLOR walked to load the bases, then Seitz was plunked by Nicole Fonteneaux for the game-winning RBI.

Grossmont has a busy 5-game schedule next week, starting with Monday's (Mar. 8) road contest at Santiago Canyon College in Orange . The Griffins will open a 6-game homestand with San Diego City on Wednesday (Mar. 10), San Diego Mesa on Friday (Mar. 12), then a 3-way doubleheader Saturday (Mar. 13) with Santa Ana and Long Beach.

"Errors! That was annoying," said assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "So we focused on our hitting – we were hitting the ball all over the place."

Following a leadoff walk to HEATHER BREWER, the ballgame may have been decided on the very next pitch when BRITT WRIGHT smacked a low liner off Comets pitcher Danielle LeBeau.

"The ball hit right off her pitching hand," noted Landeros. "So she had to come out of the game."

By the time the Palomar bullpen settled down in emergency relief, Grossmont posted six additional hits in the inning to put the mercy rule into effect.

With two runners on base when LeBeau exited, KYLEE WILSON caught the already rattled Palomar defense napping with a push bunt, which went unfielded until it rolled into right field for a tie-breaking basehit.

Then the floodgates opened.

After ANGELA LOVELADY walked to load the bases, CAITLIN AIMALEFOA singled to center for a 3-1 advantage, then MELANIE GOFF doubled the lead with a 2-run double over the head of the centerfielder.

ALYSSA TAYLOR walked to re-load the bases, setting up a KELLY SEITZ bloop single which sailed over the shortstop for another run.

Palomar finally registered an out on a fielder's choice at the plate, but with the bases still loaded, Brewer returned to the plate and blasted a 3-run triple. She would later score on a Wilson basehit to center to cap the outburst.

Brewer finished the day by going 2-for-2, with two runs and three RBI.

Aimalefoa, who also singled home Brewer in the 1st, matched Wright by going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI each.

Goff gained the pitching win for Grossmont, allowing just three hits and an unearned run. She struck out five in a game called after five innings.

Grossmont, in matching its 2009 start with nine wins in 10 starts, is slated – weather permitting – to participate in Sunday's second day of the Mt. San Jacinto Tournament, to be held at the historic Old West town of Winchester in south Riverside County. The Griffins, on paper, are scheduled to meet Allan Hancock at 9 a.m. in the first of two contests.

The first set of back-to-back double helped open the scoring in the 3rd inning.

To counter the "small ball" play by Mesa, BRITT WRIGHT led off with a bunt single.

Wilson and Lovelady followed with drives which reached the fence in left-center field for a 2-0 lead. A wild pitch would plate Lovelady with a third run.

In the 7th, HEATHER BREWER reached base on a dropped fly ball in left field, advancing to second on a ground ball by Wright.

With an open base at first, Mesa elected to pitch to Wilson, who pounded another drive to deep left-center for a 4-1 lead. Of course, following script, Lovelady answered with an identical drive for another two-base hit and a 5-1 cushion.

Mesa had two chances to steal the ballgame, but Grossmont pitcher MELANIE GOFF shut the door.

The Olympians saw their first three batters reach in the 1st, but Goff escaped the bases-loaded situation. The first potential run on a passed ball turned into an out when Wilson, the catcher, quickly recovered the ball and fired to Goff covering at the plate.

Goff then registered a strikeout, then a tapper back to the pitching circle for an easy groundout.

In the 7th, Mesa cut the Griffins lead in half with a pair of runs, including an RBI groundout by first baseball KELSEY ALVAREZ (Grossmont HS), plus another marker on a wild pitch. However, with the potential tying run at the plate, Goff coaxed a pop out, then she registered the final of her six strikeouts.

Grossmont (8-1), which is off to its best start since opening the 2007 season with an 8-0 mark, gets a major test on Friday (Feb. 26) when they travel to meet Palomar at 3 p.m.

EL CAJON (2-20-10) — Los Angeles Harbor College is one of the best road teams in Southern California. After posting a 9-2 non-conference mark on the road last season, the Seahawks were 4-1 on the road so far in 2010.

"And that included a win Thursday at Long Beach," said Grossmont College assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "And Beach is ranked 8th in Southern California."

Impressive statistics, for sure, but it didn't seem to matter to Griffins pitcher MELANIE GOFF. The freshman right-hander limited Harbor to just four basehits all afternoon, as Grossmont cruised to a 7-0 shutout victory Friday (Feb. 19).

Prior to the contest, the jersey and number for the late Griffins standout KYRSTIN GEMAR was retired. Her No. 73 hangs on the fence next to the team's third-base dugout.

Goff allowed just one Harbor baserunner to reach second base all contest on a one-out double in the 5th. However, she stranded the runner there in dominating the Seahawks, who twice brought the potential game-tying run to the plate, only to be thwarted.

"Melanie just smoked them – she's just pitching so well right now," added Landeros. "And Harbor was supposed to be coming in hot after beating Long Beach ."

The Griffins (7-1) then rewarded Goff by breaking open a 2-0 contest with five runs in the 5th, with BRITT WRIGHT serving as a key component to the rally

Wright started the inning with a triple down the right field line. She scored when the Seahawks tried to cheat on defense, bringing their shortstop in just in case ANGELA LOVELADY tried to squeeze.

"But Angela also hit the ball hard in her previous at-bat, so the left-fielder was also playing back by the warning track," noted the coach.

Lovelady plunked the ball between the defenders for a basehit for the RBI and extended her hitting streak.

Goff followed by smacking a low liner to shortstop. Although the base umpire ruled a catch, the home plate umpire over-ruled the call, as the play went for a run-scoring infield single.

AMBER BEEBE followed with a 2-run single to right, HEATHER BREWER walked to re-load the bases, then Wright capped the outburst with another walk to force in the final run.

"Everyone is starting to hit – and it's good timing, too," said Landeros, who noted the team's next ballgame will be the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference opener at San Diego Mesa this Wednesday (Feb. 24) at 3 p.m.

The Griffins scored single runs in their first two trips to the plate.

In the 1st, CAITLIN AIMALEFOA registered an RBI single. An inning later, catcher KYLEE WILSON lifted a sacrifice fly to score Goff, who singled to center, advanced to second on a walk to Brewer, then to third on a bunt single by Wright.

Harbor, ranked 15th in the Southland, saw its overall record fall to 7-3.

EL CAJON (2-18-10) — The twice re-scheduled ceremony to honor KYRSTIN GEMAR is now set for 11:45 a.m. Friday (Feb. 20), prior to Grossmont College's noon doubleheader with Los Angeles Harbor College.

Friends and family of Griffins softball are asked to attend the proceedings for Gemar, who lost her life along with two other Dickinson (N.D.) State University teammates in an auto accident last year. Gemar's number (73) will be retired during the event.

Following a prep career at Clairemont High School , Gemar played for Grossmont in 2006 and 2007, capturing the Pacific Coast Conference championship during her sophomore season to snap the long string of titles by Palomar College. The starting third baseman twice captured team MVP and all-PCC laurels, ranking among the state top 10 in several offensive categories, including home runs (7), doubles (16), RBI (39) and slugging percentage (.818).

Gemar was recruited by DSU, sitting out the '08 season to rehab an injury, then exploded back onto the scene in '09 with a .475 batting average, with 10 homers, 38 RBI and a .925 slugging percentage.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA (2-13-10) — A pair of products from San Diego City high schools paced Grossmont College to a non-conference, doubleheader sweep of Chaffey College. Clairemont High alum CAITLIN AIMALEFOA smacked home runs in both games Friday's (Feb. 12), while MELANIE GOFF of Mira Mesa High earned a pair of pitching victories.

The Griffins rallied for a 9-4 victory in the opener, then skated to a 5-2 decision in the nightcap over the winless Panthers (0-7), which are obviously struggling following a third-place finish in the Foothill Conference last season.

Meanwhile, Grossmont (6-1) own the best record among Pacific Coast Athletic Conference ballclubs in the early going in an attempt to regain the conference title captured in both 2007 and 2008.

In game one, Goff did damage on both offense and defense. After entering the game to pitch in the 2nd inning, she shutout Chaffey over the final 5 1/3 innings. On offense, she delivered in the 4th, belting a game-tying, 2-run triple to right-center field, then scoring what proved to be the game-winning run when HEATHER BREWER (El Capitan) lined a double over the head of the left-fielder.

Aimalefoa later belted a solo homer in the 5th, then added a 3-run homer to open the scoring in game two to back Goff's complete-game victory. ANGELA LOVELADY (Granite Hills) also registered a run-scoring basehit for the G-House.

EL CAJON (2-4-10) — It wasn't officially stat-padder day at Grossmont College, but it might as well have been after the Griffins blasted visiting Mt. San Jacinto College, 13-2 and 18-0, in Wednesday's (Feb. 3) non-conference doubleheader.

The victories raised Grossmont's mark to 4-1, while the hapless Eagles fell to 0-5.

In the opener, San Diego City College transfer CAITLIN AIMALEFOA blasted a tape-measure grand slam, capping a 7-run outburst in the 1st inning.

"I moved to a better team, with more depth and more pitching," said Aimalefoa, who prepped at Clairemont High. "This team works hard almost all of the time."

Aimalefoa's shot cleared the 18-foot high scoreboard in left-center field, landing in the Grossmont College Maintenance Dept. equipment station – an estimated drive of more than 250 feet.

The homer will aid Aimalefoa in her battle with teammate KELLEY SEITZ for the starting berth at first base.

"Whoever performs the best will deserve the spot," said the nursing major. "Both of us can hit."

In addition, BRITTANY WRIGHT, who recently relocated from Texas , batted 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, while ALYSSA TAYLOR popped a 2-run homer in the 3rd inning for Grossmont, making a winner of starting pitcher KELLIE WATSON.

In Game 2, a last-minute decision by the coaching staff found STEPHANIE BOURLET making her collegiate pitching debut, tossing a 2-hit shutout at Mt. San Jacinto . She struck out five in a contest called after 5 innings by run rule.

ANGELA LOVELADY scored four times after smacking a pair of doubles and walking twice, as the Griffins batted around twice while scoring 12 times in the 3rd.

GLENDALE (1-31-10) — Day two of the Glendale College fastpitch tournament on Saturday (Jan. 30) saw Grossmont College trailing Long Beach City College, 4-3, after six innings when the game was called because of the 90-minute time limit. The only problem was: there was no need for a time limit since the Griffins did not have any further contests.

Earlier in the day, Glendale officials told Grossmont that after they complete pool play against Long Beach , they could then play either Imperial Valley or San Diego City , both Pacific Coast Athletic Conference rivals. The coaching staff declined, effectively eliminating many of the afternoon ballgames.

The Gauchos imposed the time limit rule anyway, which didn't give Grossmont one final opportunity to rally.

The Vikings scored three times in the 1st inning, two unearned, only to watch the Griffins tie it in the second thanks to a mammoth, 3-run homer by HEATHER BREWER.

Designated player CAITLIN AIMALEFOA opened the inning with an infield single on a blooper which landed between the pitcher and the shortstop. KELLEY SEITZ reached on a fielder's choice, then AMBER BEEBE singled to center. Brewer then sent a shot beyond the left fielder to the fence-less outfield to circle the bases.

Long Beach scored another unearned run in the 2nd, then both pitchers – and both defenses – settled in. Griffins pitcher MELANIE GOFF allowed just four singles the rest of the way, but the offense failed to score after loading the bases in the 4th, 5th and 6th, then got slighted in their 7th-inning at-bats.

Aimalefoa went 2-for-2 with a double, while Seitz, the first baseman, also posted a pair of basehits among nine by Grossmont (2-1).

The Griffins will host a pair of events next week, both starting at 1 p.m.

On Wednesday (Feb. 3), they will play a doubleheader against Mt. San Jacinto . Then on Friday (Feb. 5), the school will entertain Saddleback, which will feature a special pregame event when the school will retire the number (73) of former star KYRSTIN GEMAR, who lost her life in an auto accident last year while attending Dickinson State (N.D.) University.

GLENDALE (1-30-10) — When it comes to meeting poorer competition, at least Grossmont College doesn't try to run up the score.

The Griffins made short work over a pair of opponents in Friday's (Jan. 29) opening round of the Glendale College Tournament, pasting the hosts 8-3, then downing a pathetically poor team from College of the Desert, 9-0.

How bad are the Roadrunners? They lost their season opener to Saddleback by a count of 32-5, but at least they scored.

Grossmont was carried by the arm of pitcher KELLIE WATSON, who struck out a pair in posting a 2-hit shutout. Meanwhile, first baseman KELLEY SEITZ batted 2-for-4 with a 2-run single in the 6th inning.

The day's batting star was shortstop ANGELA LOVELADY, who pumped home runs in each contest.

In the opener against the Gauchos, Lovelady sent a bomb to left field in the 4th to give Grossmont a 3-0 lead. The Griffins then added five markers in the 5th, including a pair off a double by AMBER BEEBE.

MELANIE GOFF gained the victory in her collegiate debut, yielding just four hits and striking out a pair.

Grossmont (2-0) will meet Long Beach to close out pool play in a 9.a.m. start Saturday (Jan. 30), then will play an opponent from the opposite pool later in the day.

EL CAJON (1-28-10) — State budget cuts may have trimmed the community college women’s fastpitch season to a mere 40 ballgames, placing additional emphasis on each outing, yet such a condensed schedule should hold little effect on Grossmont College this season.

The Griffins, who saw their 2010 opener against Cerritos get red-lined due to wet grounds Wednesday (Jan. 27), hold the perfect balance on their roster, which features five returning sophomores, six freshmen, and a trio of transfers.

“It’s what you’re always looking for to maintain continuity in your program,” said Grossmont assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. “And we have talented players at every position.”

Although the starting line-up is drastically different than what was originally penciled in during fall ball, the pieces re-shaped quickly into a unit which hopes to recapture a Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championship they won in 2007 and 2008 following last season’s runner-up finish.

A reconfiguration of the infield finds the LOVELADY sisters – AMBER and ANGELA – anchoring the middle. Amber transferred to Grossmont from Southwestern.

Amber will start the season as second base, while Angela, who starred at Granite Hills in 2009, is the shortstop.

ALYSSA TAYLOR, a Santee resident who played for La Jolla last season, is the lone freshman among the position players at third base, while power hitter KELLEY SEITZ (Valhalla) will share starting duties at first base with San Diego City College transfer CAITLIN AIMALEFOA. Both are power hitters, too.

In the outfield, El Capitan product HEATHER BREWER, who improved tremendously over the second half of the season, will start in right. AMBER BEEBE (Santana) gets the nod in left, with center to be taken by Northern California transfer BRITT WRIGHT (Chabot College).

“The only position we thought we had a problem was catcher,” noted Landeros. “Then we found out KYLEE WILSON can catch.”

Wilson, who once won a SDCIF championship at Granite Hills, was known as an outfielder in high school, but will don the gear for the Griffins despite her diminutive 5-foot-3 frame.

The pitching staff includes returnee KELLIE WATSON, who was the youngest college player in the nation at any level last season. Watson will be joined by a motivated right-hander in MELANE GOFF.

A Mira Mesa product, Goff was ticketed to Arkansas , but a new Razorbacks coaching staff cleaned house without looking at the freshman, so she returned home with a chip on her shoulder in order to prove those coaches wrong and again work hard for a Division I scholarship.

Grossmont (29-9, 10-2 PCAC) will now open the season in this weekend’s Glendale College Tournament. The Griffins will meet College of the Desert, Long Beach and the host Gauchos in the pool play portion of the event, which opens Friday (Jan. 29). The new home opener is slated for next Wednesday (Feb. 3) in a 1 p.m. doubleheader with Mt. San Jacinto.

A public memorial service for former Grossmont College softball player Kyrstin Gemar, 22, will be held Saturday (Nov. 14) at 11 a.m., at the college's Main Quad area. (where graduation ceremonies are traditionally held). More than 500 people are expected to attend. Following the memorial service, internment will be held at El Camino Memorial Park in Sorrento Valley.

Near PATTERSON LAKE, N.D. (11-3-09/Updated 11-4-09) — Former Grossmont College women's fastpitch standout KYRSTIN GEMAR and two of her teammates from Dickinson State University, who disappeared Sunday (Nov. 1) on a stargazing trip, were found dead Tuesday near the southwestern North Dakota campus, local authorities announced.

Gemar, 22, along with Afton Williamson, 20, of Lake Elsinore, and Ashley Neufeld, 21, of Brandon, Manitoba, were found in Gemar's white 1997 Jeep Cherokee at the bottom of a 12-foot deep pond on a farm outside of Dickinson, N.D.

Around 11:20 p.m. CT Sunday, the group twice called a friend for help, about one minute apart, before the line cut out on Sunday according to Dickinson police. One woman was difficult to understand during a 40-second call, with the friend telling authorities of hearing the woman say they were near a lake and water.

It was determined that Gemar and one of the other women attempted to call for assistance from an air bubble inside the submerged vehicle before tragically drowning. No determination on how the vehicle went into the lake has been announced.

"A couple of our former players knew about them being missing Monday, so we were hoping all day for them — using the present tense when talking positive about them," said Griffins assistant coach ANA LANDEROS. "Then we heard the news — it's so sad."

It was the second major disaster for the Gemar family recently. Last year, their house burned down in a fire.

"Their family is so awesome, and now this happened," added Landeros. "There isn't much you can say."

The combination of talents saw several colleges make her scholarship offers, yet Gemar selected a small NAIA school to continue her college career.

"Krystin was used exclusively as a designated hitter while rehabbing her shoulder," Landeros added about the former All-Pacific Coast Conference pitcher, who unseated Palomar for the 2007 conference championship. "But she was going to pitch again this season."

Since a person can only participate in two seasons at community colleges, most members of the current Grossmont roster did not know Gemar. The lone player who did is San Diego City College transfer first baseman Caitlin Aimalefoa, who was a teammate at Clairemont High School.

Dickinson State features several local players on the roster of the nationally ranked Blue Hawks. Included are former Steele Canyon High outfielder VANESSA ADAME, and former Grossmont College and Granite Hills High pitcher CHARNEL ZETSCH.
