The Toros won the               nightcap 3-2 after losing the opener 2-1 to the Gators (15-17,               11-9 CCAA).
Jodi Nakawatase scored the first run of the               game of the opener on a RBI double by Michelle Medina after               opening the inning with a lead-off walk in the first inning. SF               State tied the game in the third inning when Karolyn Gubbine               scored on a bases loaded walk to Kristin Bartholomay in the bottom               of the third after reaching base on an one-out double to center               field.
Nakawatase scored what proved to be the               game-winning run on a Bri Mahr sacrifice fly to left field after               starting the inning reaching base on a lead-off walk. Michelle               Medina (2-0) picked up the win in relief for the Toros, pitching               4.1 innings of scoreless relief while giving up three hits and               striking out one and walking one.

Truan pitched 7 inning of               relief, giving up two hits and one run while striking out 8 and               walking four. Gubbine was 2 for 3 for the Gators while three Toros               each had one hit a piece.
In the night cap, Mahr's one-out two-run               double to left center in the top of the first inning gave the               visiting Toros a 2-0 lead. SF State made it 2-1 in the third               inning, when Gubbine scored on a wild pitch.
Allison Shirley's two-run one out single               through the left side scoring Elissa Reizman and Jordanna Freemer               gave the Gators a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the second inning.               
Truan (10-7) retired the Toros, one, two, three               in the top of the seventh to secure the win for the Gators.
