After struggling during the early part of the Sea View League season, Young has come on strong. Wednesday, she shut out first-place Woodbridge, 2-0, on two hits. It was her fifth consecutive shutout in league play. She held Alison Johnsen, the county’s leading batter, without a hit. She lost the shutout streak Friday, but won her sixth consecutive game, pitching a three-hitter in a 12-inning, 4-3 victory over Santa Margarita. Young, who gave up only one earned run and now has a 0.99 ERA, drove in the winning run with a triple in the 12th.
