CITY CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTERFINALS: ECR PREPARED TO TAKE ON PLAYOFF CHALLENGE ECR 3, GRANADA HILLS 0.


Byline: Vincent Bonsignore Staff Writer

El Camino Real El Camino Real (Spanish for The Royal Road or The King's Highway) was the name of a series of pre-automobile highways linking the various New World colonies of Spain:

Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies'  catcher Christina Enea clutched a bouquet bouquet

El Camino Real moves on to the semifinals Tuesday at South Gate Park, but Enea, a four-year starter who is headed to the University of Oklahoma University of Oklahoma, abbreviated OU, is a coeducational public research university located in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.

``It's sad to think about it,'' Enea said. ``We were talking the other day about our first game went when we were freshmen, what we did in our first at-bat and stuff like that. It's sad.''

 their first city title since Enea's sophomore year. They lost in the final when she was a freshman.

``I want it bad (the championship) because I always said I wanted to win it as a sophomore and a senior,'' Enea said. ``We can do it, we have the ability to do it. We're coming together and we've shown a lot of heart.''

El Camino Real, the third seed behind Carson and San Pedro, has a legitimate shot if pitcher Melissa Coogan continues to perform as she has in two postseason wins.

Coogan shut out Washington 5-0 on a no-hitter Tuesday in the first round, then followed that gem with seven strikeouts while scattering scattering

Kelley Lombard started things with a leadoff single and then scored on Enea's sacrifice fly to left field. Stacy Nicklaus scored on a wild pitch and Megan Zwoyer added an RBI single to make it 3-0.

Granada Hills went with Leahy as the starter rather than freshman Katherine Walsh, who got the win in the first round against Kennedy. Highlanders coach Carolyn Gunny felt Walsh, who took over for Leahy in the third, was better suited in a relief role.

Walsh did just that, working out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out the side in the third inning and then holding El Camino Real hitless the rest of the way.

But at that point, Coogan was in command, leading 3-0.
