The Gahr High softball program, one of the best in Southern California, the state and highly ranked in the nation by MaxPreps.com, has a knack for playing in the close games. The 2020 team played in only six games and won all of them by one run and lost this season’s opener to La Mirada High on Mar. 30 by one run after the Lady Matadores rallied for nine runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
But last Thursday, Gahr made sure to not to squander a seven-run lead, even though it was getting precarious in the top of the seventh. The Lady Gladiators were able to hold onto this lead and escaped with an 8-6 home win that leveled their record to 1-1.
