South City sophomore Madyson Jade Quintanilla sure knows how to reach a milestone in style.
Madyson Jade Quintanilla
Quintanilla hit her 20th career varsity home run Wednesday as the Warriors (3-1 PAL Lake, 9-7 overall) hammered archrival El Camino (1-4, 2-8) for a 16-1 mercy-rule win at South City. The right-handed hitting shortstop entered the day with 18 career bombs, only to homer twice in the first inning, including a grand slam for No. 20 on her career.
The Warriors sent 15 batters to the plate in the first inning, spurred by Quintanilla’s leadoff solo blast to right. South City followed with six straight singles before batting around, with Quintanilla stepping to the plate again in the first with the bases loaded to connect for another opposite-field home run.
Junior Miley Salvatore capped the 11-run inning with an RBI double. South City went on to score four times in the second and once more in the third, with junior Sydney Semans’ sacrifice fly scoring sophomore Phoebe Oseguera for the walk-off mercy-rule victory.
Semans earned the win in the circle, firing a three-inning no-hitter. El Camino scored its only run in the top of the third with a walk, an error and an RBI groundout by Izzy Totah.
Quintanilla batted four times in the game, getting intentionally walked in each of her last two at-bats. The sophomore finished 2 for 2 with five RBIs and three runs scored. She now has 12 home runs on the season to lead all the Peninsula Athletic League, and tied for second in the Central Coast Section behind Mitty sophomore MJ Fikes with 13.
Salvatore and Semans collected three hits and three RBIs and senior Liala Kinchen also had three hits.
The game marks the the third multi-home run game of the year for Quintanilla, and the fourth of her career. As a freshman, she hit eight home runs. She now owns a career slash line of .655/.739/1.471 through 41 games.

I agree with both Terence and Dirk. Experience counts in the job Canepa is running for, not schmoozing ability. Irizarry has experience.
