On the rain-cleared evening of April 22, 2026, the Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech) softball team faced off against Bishop Garcia Diego High School (Bishop Diego) on the Dragon’s home field. The senior day match-up allowed for Foothill Tech to take down a decisive 11-0 win against the Cardinal’s best efforts.
The first inning was a key momentum builder for the Dragons. Foothill Tech took advantage of the opportunity to set the tone for later plays in the game. Impressive runs came from Zoey Watkins ‘26, Kyra Bouchard ‘27 and Jocelyn Morales ‘28, allowing the Dragons to solidify a 4-0 lead heading into the top of the second.
The top of the second saw another scoreless inning from Bishop Diego, who struggled to connect with the ball during key moments. Moving to the bottom, Watkins, paired with other varsity Dragons, was able to bring an additional three players across home plate.
The third inning followed a similar story, as Bishop Diego struggled to bring runners home while Foothill Tech continued to apply pressure with deep hits and smart baserunning. In the fourth, both teams were held scoreless, with Bishop Diego managing to contain the Dragons for the first time in the game.
The Dragons entered the fifth ahead; unfortunately, Bishop Diego’s best efforts wouldn’t be enough to mount a comeback in time. As the Dragons went on to shut down the Cardinals and secure a final two runs before closing out the game 11-0 after a mercy ruling was put into effect.
This win adds to the Dragons’ 8-8 record for the ‘26 season and cements their current ranking at fourth within their respective league. Foothill Tech’s next game will be against Del Sol High School (Del Sol) on April 23, on the Dragons’ home field.
