IRVINE — Paraclete’s Jamie Sencion easily could have been rattled after she was called for a pair of illegal pitches early in the game.
But Sencion, a senior right-hander headed to Farleigh Dickinson, showed nerves of steel.
Sencion overcame those calls for replanting, as well as command issues at the beginning of the contest and delivered a two-hitter with 10 strikeouts in leading the Spirits to an 8-0 win over North in the CIF Southern Section’s Division 4 softball championship game at Barber Park’s Deanna Manning Stadium.
