    Eau Gallie Commodores Dominate Cape Coast Conference, Thrash Rockledge 12-4 – Space Coast Daily

    Eau Gallie Commodores Dominate Cape Coast Conference with a 12‑4 Victory

    That’s right, folks! The Eau Gallie softball squad tore through the Cape Coast Conference championship Thursday, smashing Rockledge behind a sizzling 12‑4 final score. The Commodores’ standout play? A blistering two‑run homer by Izzy Gambill that set the tone for the rest of the game. The cheer? “Cap‑tivating!”

    Game Flow Rundown

    • Third inning surprise: Rockledge jumps ahead early, but Eau Gallie calls it a draw in the fourth.
    • Fourth‑inning fireworks: Gambill lights up the field with a smashing two‑run homer, sending the Commodores to the front.
    • Fifth‑inning tug‑of‑war: Turns out nobody likes a long‑distance game‑keeper. Rockledge briefly hijacks the lead fresh off a bomb of a run, but Gambill’s double followed by Latulippe’s homer re‑establishes dominance for Eau Gallie.
    • Sixth‑inning explosion: Four more power‑house hits—including Barrera’s personal home run—deliver a 2‑run final (a bummer for Rib‑s)-high can’t beat the Canadians or the Redhills or the Billa, but it screams: Game Over.

    Final tallies

    Eau Gallie: 12‑7
    Rockledge: 15‑6

    Looking Ahead

    Excitement isn’t finished yet—district tournaments will kick off April 28th, but for now, the Commodores are swimming in victory and buzzing excitement.

    Spin‑Off Saturday: EFSC Titans Square Off Against Indian River in a Double‑Header Showdown

    Hey, BREVARD COUNTY—if you’re looking for slam‑dunk softball this coming Monday, the Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) softball squad has got you covered. The 17th‑ranked Titans will hold court at the home‑grown Titan Softball Complex and will battle the top‑dish No. 3 Indian River State College in a back‑to‑back double‑header, starting at 4 p.m.

    Why It Matters

    While Indian River is already locked into the postseason, the Titans have their fingers on the prize with only four games left to find out if they’ll make the cut. Every inning in that double‑header counts!

    Pitching Showdown

    • Avery Velazquez (EFSC): 20‑9 record, stellar 1.19 ERA, 5 saves—the girl who’s making her freshman season look like a season.
    • She’s thrown 156 strikeouts in 193⅓ innings and has 21 complete games—you could say she’s got the power to finish what she starts.
    • On offense, Velazquez is hitting at a .423 average, with 7 homers and 59 RBIs—talk about a dual-dynamo.
    • J’Dah Girgorie (Indian River): 28‑2 record, jaw‑dropping 1.06 ERA, 201 K’s in 158⅔ innings. This lady is a strike‑out machine.
    • Girgorie has already beaten the Titans twice this season—her aura is practically a prophecy.

    Speedster Stakes

    • Indian River tops the nation with 290 stolen bases—that’s a lot of stealing short bases.
    • Key speedster Anaise Piar leads the charge with 46 steals.

    What Happened Recently

    EFSC had a two‑game wobble against No. 2 Florida Southwestern State College on Saturday, dropping them to fourth place in the Citrus Conference. The double‑header now becomes the “game of the re‑game.”

    Come See It Live

    • Admission: The cheapest price—you pay nothing!
    • Need to catch it from the comfort of your couch? Fan‑friendly livestreams are available live on the EFSC Titans YouTube channel.

    Eastern Florida State College Softball Dominates the Road with a Stunning Weekend Sweep

    EFSC Tigers Dominate the Patriots – Two Wins, One Sweep!

    In a weekend two‑game showdown on Saturday, the Eastern Florida State College softball squad (the Titans) put on a show that left the College of Central Florida players a little rattled.

    Game 1: 12‑0 – The Titans Leave No Room for a Mirage

    • Avery Velazquez was the hero, throwing a five‑inning shutout that sneaked past the Patriots with just one hit and three strikeouts. The win pushed his season record to a sparkling 17‑8.
    • Shooting the ball? OSU let the Titans rake in 6 runs in the second inning, thanks in part to a sweet RBI single from Ashley Grieser and another from Isabel Otero. Those two were also the only hitters to snag a 3‑run night.

    Game 2: 9‑1 – The Titans Ball Out Herself

    • For the second game, Luci Walters turned the corner with a one‑run outing on four hits, marking her third consecutive win (now 12‑4).
    • Run ball! The Tigers posted a 5‑0 lead by the third inning, thanks to ARACHELIS JIMENEZ blasting a sacrifice fly followed by a single that brought home Aracelis and Avery themselves. Then Jessica Merk followed up with an RBI single.
    • During the fourth inning, Corazzini tagged out on a solid hit that drove in two, bringing the score up to 4‑0. That run topped off with a RBI single by Jessica Merk—now the scoreboard reads 5‑0.
    • Completing the swing, the Titans added a single run in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Merk went 4‑for‑4, ribbing the opposition with a steady RBI. Corazzini had two hits and also had three RBIs, tipping the scales for the victorious Tigers.
    • Hey, did you know? This victory marks the 30th triumph of the season—a truly stellar feat for the man! (Said in a lighthearted way, with a nod to the full team spirit.)

    Next Up: Daytona State College

    The Titans will head to Daytona State College for a Citrus Conference doubleheader, taking on the 10th‑ranked Falcons. All eyes will be on whether the Tigers can keep the winning streak going.
