In Tuesday's win, Laguna scored four runs in the second inning behind run-scoring singles by Carissa Collins and Corey Kent and a run-scoring double by Karinna Reiss.
Corona del Mar struck for two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to pull to within 4-3. The Breakers, though, retaliated in the fifth to score twice more, using a string of singles by Haley Putnam, Kent, Kennedi Gherardini and Veronica Clancy to move into a 7-3 advantage.
The Sea kings drew to within 7-5 in the top of the seventh, but Putnam caught a liner and doubled up a runner at first to end the game.
Kent went two for four with two RBIs and Reiss added a single and walk to her double. Putnam singled twice, walked and scored a run. Clancy and Jordan Hartman also scored.
Putnam pitched a complete game, striking out four with two walks and allowed just two earned runs.
The Breakers began their season March 2 against Connelly at their new softball field at Thurston. Putnam went four for four with a home run and threw a complete-game victory, Collins had a pinch-hit, two-run double and Gherardini had three put outs at the plate.
Hunter said that the Breakers' offense is averaging 13 a game so far.
The Laguna starting lineup includes four sophomores and five freshmen. Returning players from last year's team — which Hunter said played four nonleague games and a junior varsity schedule in the Orange Coast League in going 13-5 overall — are: Hartman (1B), Reiss (2B), Kent (SS), Putnam (P), Gherardini (catcher), Clancy (CF), Katie Anderson (3B), Taylor Romatowski (LF) and Bailey Romatowski (RF).
"We've got a very young team and there's three or four girls on varsity who have never played before," Hunter said. "We've got a very good pitcher (Putnam) and in softball, pitching is 'gold.'
"This is a great group of girls who have a dream and they've been waiting to play for a year and a half. They're extremely excited and they have a lot of energy. They're absolutely amazing athletes."
Laguna resumes play Monday with a 3:45 p.m. nonleague home game against Los Amigos at Thurston Field.
