Softball opens season throwing consecutive shut outs

The City College Women’s softball team showed its dominance in its season opener in a double header against Foothill College.

The Panthers won the first game 11-0. Chelsea Talbert was the starting pitcher, throwing seven strikeouts before handing the game over to Jennifer Zoller; who closed the game with an additional three strikeouts, as the Panthers ran to victory.

The second game was no different. The panthers won by a score of 13-0.  This game was started by sophomore pitcher Brittany Schwieger and completed by Jessie Kitchen.

“We’re very focused. We say ‘Game Time’, it sets the mode of what’s going on,” City College catcher Jamie Lowery said, referring to how they prepare mentally to take the field.

The goal for the softball team is to still be playing at the end of May.  This would mean another conference championship but more importantly another shot at a state championship.

“We know the feeling,” Lowery said. “We want the freshman to feel it too,” referring to the feeling of advancing into the postseason.

The Panthers played like a team for both games and kept the Owls from ever getting to third base in both games. Both games were called at the bottom of the 5th inning because the eight-run rule was applied.  The rule basically states that if a team is trailing by eight runs after the 5th inning, the game is over.

“We knew we wouldn’t win”, said Foothill’s head coach Collin Pregliasco, “We’re just looking to make the team better and show the girls how we want to play.”

But victory isn’t new to the Panthers. The City College softball team has been Conference Champion 24 times since 1983 and California State Champions in 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2004.  Two of the state championships were under the leadership of current head coach Robert Maglione.

Coach Maglione has been the head coach of this well-accomplished program for 15 years.  While Maglione has been successful in recruiting high quality players, he has also been very fortunate to have good players fall on his lap.

He has a veteran squad with at least two ladies that were recruited out of his program but have returned.  “I make sure if a kid leaves that they can always come back,” said Maglione.

“He’s not only softball coach but teaches a lot about life”, said Lowery.  “He’s more like a mentor than a coach.”
