Staff Writer STEVENSON RANCH Stevenson Ranch, California (in the 91381 ZIP Code) is a Los Angeles County, USA, unincorporated community west of Santa Clarita a few miles south of Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park. The Stevenson Ranch fountain was redone in 2007. - It was the first league softball softball, variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. 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' game for the three-year-old West Ranch ranch, large farm devoted chiefly to raising and breeding cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The cattle ranch was introduced from Latin America to Texas and the plains of the W United States and Canada. Wildcats. The young team had no seasoned seniors batting Batting has several meanings:

But one person in the stands wasn't surprised. "You know what the first text message I got said?" asked Cassandra Perez, West Ranch's softball coach. "I can't believe you guys won. But since the ninth grade I have known what you guys can do." As she watched her girls running the bases earlier this week, Perez said she never saw drawbacks to being the head of a new team. "I am really lucky," Perez said. "These are good girls who aren't afraid to work hard. ... This will definitely make people pay attention." Saugus softball coach Richard Perez said he had his eyes on the Wildcats long before last week's showdown. Cassandra Perez used to coach at Saugus, so the Centurions are aware of what she can do. "It should be a good game," Richard Perez said, referring to a match between Saugus and West Ranch on Tuesday. "They are a young team, but Cassandra knows how to work them hard." And it seems her work has paid off. Despite the fact that many of the girls on the team are new to the game, the recent win has made them shed their fears. "We need to keep proving people wrong," sophomore Lauren Bermudez said. "This gave us more respect for our team," junior Alexa Putledge added. The future of the Wildcats is still uncertain. Frequent errors in previous games didn't exactly give them a great start. But Perez and her girls feel confident a spot in the playoffs is reserved for the gold and blue. "The playoffs are realistic," Perez said. For this team there is only room to grow, she said, adding: "We are looking at a great season next year." connie.llanos(at)dailynews.com (661) 257-5254 CAPTION(S): 2 photos Photo: (1 -- 2 -- color) West Ranch softball coach Cassandra Perez, above, talks to her team at practice during spring break.
