BY TED APODACA: After moving from Division 5 to Division 4, the Garden Grove High softball team has not drawn a lot of attention this season. They held off Santiago for the Garden Grove League title, going 10-0 versus the 8-2 Cavaliers.<\/p>\n

But the Argonauts looked playoff ready last week as they went to Savanna and held the Orange League champion Rebels to no runs in a 2-0 victory in the playoff tune-up between the two Division 4 teams.<\/p>\n

But the Argonauts looked playoff ready last week as they went to Savanna and held the Orange League champion Rebels to no runs in a 2-0 victory in the playoff tune-up between the two Division 4 teams.<\/p>\n

Savanna was ranked No. 4 in last week’s CIF-SS Division 4 poll, and has been ranked as high as No. 1 after reaching the CIF-SS finals last year, for the second season in a row. It could give the Argonauts an added boost of confidence and momentum.<\/p>\n

“It was a good win to go into CIF,” Head Coach Jasen Sutter said.<\/p>\n

Junior pitcher Olivia Candelas pitched a two-hit shutout, getting steady help from behind the circle.<\/p>\n

“Our defense was really good today,” Sutter said.<\/p>\n

Prior to the win over Savanna, Garden Grove also defeated Katella, the second place team in the Orange League, 7-1.<\/p>\n

The Argonauts won the Garden Grove League, defeating La Quinta, 2-0, in the final league game of the season. But the tune-up game against Savanna gave the Argonauts a chance to face a high-caliber pitcher like ones they will face in the CIF-SS Division 4 playoffs.<\/p>\n

“They know it was a good win for the team,” Sutter said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
