    Huntington Beach left-hander Zoe Prystajko provided another reminder Friday why she is one of the best softball pitchers in California.

    The junior committed to Stanford struck out 18 to help lead the Oilers past previously undefeated Sutter 1-0 in the Best of the West Classic in Santa Maria.

    Cali Bennett delivered the game-winning hit in the seventh inning as Huntington Beach (17-4) advanced to Saturday’s semifinals against Paso Robles at 11:15 a.m.

    Prystajko matched her season-high for strikeouts and allowed two hits and three walks against Sutter, a Northern California school that entered the game with a 14-0 record.

    Last season, Prystajko struck out 20 in a victory against Clovis.

    Saige Anderson added three hits for Huntington Beach, ranked third in Orange County.
