Previously unbeaten Vanessa Teves and Chiara Adamo, Modesto Junior College’s top doubles pair, saw their season come to an end Saturday at the CCCAA Doubles Tennis State Championships.

Teves and Adamo (19-1) were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Foothill’s Olesya Besprovannykh✔ and Kyssia Mendoza 6-3, 7-5. It was a measure of revenge for the Foothill duo, which was beaten by Teves and Adamo 7-5, 6-2 during Modesto’s victory in last week’s NorCal Dual Team Regional semifinals.

The Modesto pair won three matches in Ojai before its setback. The loss brought to an end a landmark season during which the Pirates annexed their first Northern California team title. Modesto (16-1) was beaten by Mt. San Antonio College 5-4 in the state team finals.

Upset win for Warriors in Pomona – Marcus Mastrobuoni’s three-run homer secured Cal State Stanislaus’ 11-8 upset win over California Collegiate Athletic Association-leading Cal Poly Pomona. The second game of the scheduled doubleheader at Pomona (32-12, 24-10) was rained out and will be made up today.

Skippy Ferreria and Nick Molina each had three hits and two RBIs and pitcher Nick Voumard picked up the win for the Warriors (20-24, 15-19 CCAA). Voumard (6-2) threw six innings and struck out three.

Mastrobuoni’s homer increased Stanislaus’ lead to 11-4 in the eighth. The Warriors scored five in the fifth, keyed by Molina’s two-run single and Ferreria’s two-RBI double. A run-scoring groundout by Eriksen Dickens and an RBI double by Klayton Miller gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead in the second.

Stanislaus seniors honored – Cal State Stanislaus honored seniors Holly Mooring, Jessica Varady, Angela Mendoza and Natalie Rendon before they ended the season with 9-0 and 9-3 losses to Sonoma State. The Warriors (15-35, 7-29 CCAA) trailed 7-0 after two innings in the opener, prompting the five-inning loss. Cassidy Dukes and Varady had the only hits for Stanislaus.

In the nightcap, the Warriors forced extra innings thanks to a sacrifice fly by Natalie Dorsey and an RBI single by Amy Pedretti in the sixth. Sonoma (38-17, 24-11) prevailed by scoring six runs on five hits and two walks in the ninth. Mooring, Varady, Pedretti and Mooring accounted for the only Stanislaus hits.
