Lakewood ran into a buzzsaw in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3 softball playoffs on Thursday.
The Lancers could only muster one hit in their 1-0 loss at Charter Oak while freshman Leila Diebert tossed a gem.
Charter Oak (18-2-1) scratched a run in the fourth inning that ended up being enough after Lakewood pitcher Star Tapia limited them to just five hits.
Lakewood finished the season 15-11 and was second in the Moore League.
