The school year's done, but the debates are absolutely heating up! After last week's dive into the best baseball hitting performances, The Record is turning its focus to high school softball, shining a massive spotlight on 15 jaw-dropping single-game hitting performances from the 2025-26 season. It is time for the girls to take center stage, and trust me, you will not believe some of these numbers.
Unforgettable Power and Incredible Consistency
We are talking about some serious firepower here, folks. Take Mackenzie Coffman, a Mountain House senior, who went 3-for-4 with a home run and six RBIs in a tough 15-12 loss to Kimball back on February 12. That kind of effort on opening day, even in a loss, just screams leadership. Then there is Lelia Tatupu, an Edison senior, who went 4-for-5 with two triples, a home run, and an insane seven RBIs in a 24-6 rout of Sonora on February 28. Seven RBIs! That is just legendary. Emalee Cargill, a Tracy senior and Cal signee, brought her A-game on March 5, going 3-for-3 with a home run and six RBIs in a 13-3 victory over Central Catholic, a team that finished as California's No. 39. Even Angelina Martinez, known mostly for her pitching at Ripon, reminded everyone of her bat on March 7, hitting a home run and driving in five runs in a 2-for-3 performance against Livingston. Shayla Shanks, a Bear Creek freshman, proved you do not always need extra-base hits to dominate, going 3-for-6 with five RBIs, all on singles, in a 22-0 win over Stagg on April 2. What a showing!Freshman Fire and Rare Feats
The talent pool runs deep! Jamaiya Wilson, an Edison freshman, looked like a seasoned veteran in her debut against Grant on February 19. She reached base four times on walks and added an RBI double, showing pure veteran approach and setting the tone for a season where she collected 34 RBIs. Talk about making an immediate impact! And how about Taylor Sansaver, a Tracy junior and University of Arizona signee? On March 19 against Lodi, she pulled off one of the rarest feats in baseball or softball: hitting for the cycle. A single, a double, a triple, a home run, finishing 4-for-4 with five RBIs in a 12-4 victory. That is just clutch. Julieann Drulias, a BHCPA senior and Jackson State signee, was an RBI machine all season, and on April 8, she delivered a 6-for-6 performance with five RBIs and a cycle herself in a massive 26-run game. These players are just incredible. Now, all 15 of these incredible performances are up for consideration, and it is totally up to you to decide which one deserves the top spot. There are no voting restrictions, so you can vote as often as you want. The poll closes at noon this Thursday, July 23. Do not sleep on this, go make your voice heard and help crown the best hitting performance from the 2025-26 season!This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
