Smith replaced key seniors with four freshman this season, but that didn’t slow a program that has risen to lofty heights. 1 seed in the division Chino claimed with a 4-0 win in the championship game on June 1.

The second was a 7-6 loss without starting pitcher Miranda Viramontes to Mission Viejo, the No. The first was a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Santa Ana Mater Dei, the No. The Cowgirls lost just twice, each by one run. He led Chino to a second consecutive CIF-SS Division 2 championship in more impressive fashion than the first. Topping last season’s heroics was a tall order, but Smith was up to the task. “If we have the same mindset as we did this year, there’s no reason why we can’t do it again.” “I think we can do it again,” Viramontes said. Viramontes has already led Chino to its first two softball championships in school history, but before she departs for the University of Utah, where she committed after her freshman year, she’ll be back next season for a run at No. The hurler hasn’t left the circle without a win since. The only loss for Viramontes this year was a 1-0 defeat March 8 at the hands of Santa Ana Mater Dei, which went on to earn the No. It didn’t matter who we were playing, with her in the circle we knew it was going to be a close game.” “She always had the talent, but she was mentally tougher this year. “She improved in so many ways this year,” Smith said. She finished with five no-hitters, six one-hitters and 15 shutouts.Ĭhino coach Mike Smith declared he had never heard of a pitcher whose performance topped that of Viramontes this season.

She posted a 0.36 earned-run average during the regular season and allowed two runs in five postseason games. Viramontes won 21 consecutive starts to finish out the season. “With my record and my numbers and where we ended up as a team, it was just unbelievable.” “I don’t think this season could have ended up any better,” Viramontes said. The lone playoff game Viramontes allowed more than one hit was a nine-inning 2-1 victory. In the playoffs alone, the junior pitched a no-hitter and three one-hitters, one of which netted a 4-0 win over Lakewood in the CIF-SS Division 2 championship game on June 1. Having not just a year under her belt, but a run through the playoffs chock-full of tense one-run games, Viramontes’ postseason performance in 2013 was off the charts. It was practically unfair for opponents this season. It is a testament to the pitcher’s talent that she led her team through a playoff gauntlet to a CIF championship as an inexperienced sophomore in 2012. Miranda Viramontes may have produced the same end result as last season, but rest assured, the path was entirely different. Photo gallery: 2013 Inland Valley Daily Bulletin All-Area Softball Team
