The Tigers have scored the sixth-most runs in 3A baseball with 198, while Pleasant Hill is roughly average with 169. Pleasant Hill, like Stan- ¿HOG LVQ¶W D VWUDQJHU WR deep playoff runs, how- ever.

Early in the season, the Tigers appeared to be sputtering. They lost their ¿UVWWKUHHJDPHVWRTXDOLW\ opponents from Washing- ton, but quickly got back to winning ways. They won their next nine games to post a 9-3 record with league play looming, and a two-game losing streak in late April was the last blem- LVKRQ6WDQ¿HOG¶VVFKHGXOH Since that brief two-game VNLG 6WDQ¿HOG LV DQG FXUUHQWO\ RQ D ¿YHJDPH winning streak.

Then, seem- ingly out of nowhere, Purugganan contacted Hoffert to ask him about Gutierrez. The seventh-year coach said he was surprised, to say the least. “The guy called, and I thought LWZDVDMRNHDW¿UVW´+RIIHUWVDLG It wasn’t a joke.

She was still un- sure about the direction she wanted to go, but Hoffert let her make the decision for herself. “I said, ‘That’s totally up to you, Jazmin. You will make the right GHFLVLRQEHFDXVH\RXDOZD\VGR¶´ Hoffert said. “She called him that QLJKWDQGWKHUHVWLVKLVWRU\´ Gutierrez’s interest only in- creased when she traveled to Tacoma for a workout a couple weeks ago and was elated to learn Pierce plays a system com- parable to Hermiston’s. She said she was up front about her knee’s history, which was shrugged off by Purugganan just as quickly. By attending Pierce College, Gutierrez’s wish of going some- where new is granted. Walla Walla Community College had showed interest, but it was too H\HRSHQHU´%DLOH\VDLG That stretch got Echo roll- ing, but the team had the players all along. Led by Gonzales, the Cougars have showed the abili- ty to score runs all season long. While sometimes the run totals weren’t consistent with an ex- plosive offense, the components were always there. The Cougars have six batters with averages over .300 and many with on- base percentages over .400. As a team, the Cougars are slash- ing .295/.435/.393/.828. That’s a good enough offense to con- sistently score runs. Echo’s main problem, how- ever, has been defense. Gonza- les has been money in the cir- cle, posting a 1.85 ERA during the course of 110 innings, but she has allowed a third as many earned runs as total runs. In Echo’s last game, an 11-3 loss to Vale, the Cougars committed six errors, leading to eight unearned Viking runs. It turned a close game into a blowout and provid- ed all the context Bailey needed to understand his team: When they play defense, they win. “We gotta eliminate the er- rors, and that’s going to be the difference going into the VWDWH SOD\RIIV´ %DLOH\ VDLG “We have to eliminate the er- rors.

Tacoma provides an opportunity for her to do some exploring, she said. “I feel like it’s not too close, DQGLW¶VQRWWRRIDU´VKHVDLG After Gutierrez penned her name Tuesday afternoon, friends and teammates swarmed around her. Her past year has been a se- ries of ups and downs that Hof- fert said he believes would have broken most teenagers. Gutier- rez managed to keep a steady attitude throughout, he said, which led to the continuation of her basketball career. 6KH¶V DPD]LQJ´ KHU PRWK- er, Angel, said. “She has a lot of faith in God, and she, pretty much, when she was injured, from that point on our journey there to have surgery and our journey back when the basket- ball season started and every- thing, she just was so strong in her faith, and I think that’s real- ly what helped her get through it and helped us as a family get through it. I think really just her faith and having her coaches be- ing so supportive and her team- mates being so supportive, it’s pretty awesome.
