The Cloverdale High School JV softball team had a great showing at its own tournament last weekend, winning two of three games to take home a second place trophy.
The Eagles opened the tourney with a 13-0 romp over Healdsburg, and defeated Windsor in a 15-13 barnburner in game two. The magic ran out in the title game, as Cloverdale fell to Maria Carrillo (no score reported).
Pitcher Hannah Bereschi led the team with her arm, while the Eagles’ offense turned in a strong collective performance.
