Yuba Defeats Sacramento City 4-0 in Dominant Pitching Performance on February 22, 2025
In a game marked by dominant pitching and strong defensive play, Yuba secured a 4-0 victory over Sacramento City on February 22, 2025. The game was largely controlled by Yuba's pitcher, Danni Farris, who threw a no-hitter and led her team to the win in front of a home crowd in Marysville.
Farris Shines on the Mound
Danni Farris was simply untouchable in the circle for Yuba. The sophomore pitcher tossed a complete-game shutout, striking out five batters and walking five, but never allowing a hit. Her performance was key in stifling Sacramento City's offense, which struggled to get anything going all game.
Yuba Takes an Early Lead
The game began with an early scoring surge from Yuba in the first inning. Danni Farris contributed an RBI single to drive in the first run, and then Samantha Pinkham followed with a two-run single to make it 3-0. That would be all Yuba would need, but they added an insurance run in the fourth inning when Alyssa Pope singled in another run, extending the lead to 4-0.
Sacramento City Struggles to Generate Offense
Sacramento City was unable to get anything going offensively throughout the game. Despite five walks issued by Farris, the Panthers couldn't find a way to make solid contact, finishing the game without a hit. The team's best chance came in the second inning when they loaded the bases with two outs, but Farris got out of the jam with a strikeout.
