It gave Newbury Park a 2-1 lead and eventually the victory. ``I was just hoping she wouldn't touch me,'' she said. The whole sequence was set up by Keohohou's aggressive baserunning. ``I was watching (on the base hit) and when she didn't come up with it clean I went to second,'' Keohohou said. ``I figured it's easier to score from second that first, so I went for it.'' Said teammate Muran: ``Oli is always doing something like that. She's just so quick and so smart. Both plays really got us into the game.'' Moorpark scored its run in the second when Jennifer Perez singled in Michelle Willette, who opened the inning with a triple. It gave Moorpark hope early, that is, until Keohohou took over. ``Oli is very instinctive in·stinc·tive adj. 1. Of, relating to, or prompted by instinct. 2.
