El Mo softball shortstop Risa Scott-Smith fielded a ball for the Lady Lions.

There is no doubting the offensive firepower of Analy Tigers this season as they field arguably their best line-up in more than a decade.
Their hitting prowess was on full display on April 14 in the first clash at El Molino, pounding out a season-high 21 hits in a 23-1 romp over the Lions. The barrage included a 10-run explosion by the Tigers in the second frame, followed by another seven-run rally in the fourth to force an early stoppage after five innings.
The win kept the Tigers unbeaten in Sonoma County League play at 5-0, one game up on Sonoma Valley (4-1), Petaluma (3-1), Healdsburg (2-4), Piner (1-2), El Molino (1-4) and Elsie Allen (0-4).
Both West County teams played one other game last week, as El Mo notched their first win of the campaign in a 6-3 victory over Healdsburg, while the Tigers dropped a 4-0 non-league decision to Pinole Valley.
 At press time Analy (14-3 overall) was preparing to hit the road for games at Piner (April 19) and Elsie Allen (April 21). The Tigers return home for a critical rematch against Petaluma next Tuesday, April 26. All games start at 4 p.m.
The Lions (1-12) will visit Elsie Allen on April 19, followed by a home dates with Petaluma (Thursday, April 21, 4 p.m.) and Sonoma Valley (April 26 4 p.m.).
