GOLETA, Calif. – A furious rally came up just short as Dos Pueblos lost a wild CIF-Southern Section Division 4 quarterfinal game 12-9 to Harvard-Westlake.
The Chargers were down 10-2 after a grand slam in the top of the fourth inning by Ainsley Nutting, her second home run of the game.
DP got within 11-9 in the bottom of the sixth inning on a solo home run by Vereniki Maniadi.

Later in the inning Anastasia Brunner launched a deep shot to center with a runner on second but Stanford-commit Kale’a Tindal made a sensational catch to rob a home run and preserve the lead.
The Wolverines added one more run in the 7th.
A young Dos Pueblos squad ends the season at 14-15.
