Analise De La Roca: 2 No-Hitters In 3 Days For POLA Softball

LOS ANGELES - Throwing a simple no-hitter in any level of softball is tough enough, but two in a three-day span?

Life has been pretty good in the circle so far for Port Of Los Angeles High junior right-hander Analise De La Roca, as she tossed her third no-hitter so far this season in a 10-0 victory over host King-Drew Medical of Los Angeles in a Coliseum League game at George Washington Carver Park in Los Angeles.

This latest output from De La Roca follows her five-inning perfect game earlier this week in a 15-0 victory over Manual Arts of Los Angeles where she struck out 14 of 15 batters faced in just 59 pitches.

To explain how impressive De La Roca has done just two weeks into the season has been nothing short of mind boggling.

So far for POLA (6-1 overall, 3-0 league), in just seven starts, the Arizona State verbal commit has no-hit Westlake of Westlake Village, Manual Arts and King-Drew, hurled a pair of one-hit shutouts against South Torrance and Fremont of Los Angeles, has only given up five runs, and struck out a total of 90 batters.

De La Roca has been seemingly unflappable, especially against the Golden Eagles (2-5, 1-2), who almost frustrated POLA with their speed whenever they put a runner on base, fooling most of their slap-hitters on several occasions with a devastating riseball, and mixing up speeds to devastating effect for 18 strikeouts, only walking one. De La Roca was perfect through 4 1/3 innings before a fielding error with one out in the bottom of the fifth.

Before De La Roca even threw her first pitch, the Polar Bears would score six runs in the top of the first inning with De La Roca's RBI-single, a two-RBI triple by sophomore third baseman Angie Vargas, and a RBI-single by junior first baseman Christina Hernandez. On this day, even one run would have been more than enough.

POLA would scratch a run in the third and fifth innings, then another two-RBI triple by sophomore Bianca Velazquez would round out the scoring in the sixth inning.

De La Roca (double, 3 RBIs), freshman shortstop Yolanda Racaza, freshman catcher Allison Torstensen and junior second baseman Destiny Sambrano (triple, RBI) all had two hits each for POLA, who pounded out 14 hits in all against King-Drew for a solid offensive output.

POLA will next take on host Legacy of South Gate on Thursday at 2:30 pm.
