CSUDH starter Regina Farfan tossed a complete game 4-hitter, allowing two runs in redeeming herself after allowing eight hits and seven runs (three earned) in only two innings of work in the opener.

Vazquez and Kristin Tanaka paced the CSUDH offense with two hits apiece in the split.

The two teams go at it again tomorrow morning to conclude the four-game regular season series, with first pitch of game one set for 11:00 am.
