Valencia added to her stat line with an RBI single to the pitcher in the 3rd to make it 3-0, before Katelyn Sturm went yard in the 7th for an extra run.  With runners at the corners, Raquel Jaime sent a deep fly ball to right field in foul territory, which was deep enough to bring home Haylee Garcia with the final run of the game.

Wies needed 96 pitches for hte complete-game win to improve to 19-4, fanning five against just one walk.  Valencia, meanwhile, enjoyed a 3-for-4 outing at the plate, bringing home three RBI.

In the opener, after the Toros got on the board in the top of the 1st on a Kianna Abellera RBI single, the Otters scored six unanswered to take a 6-1 lead.  CSUDH looked to come back in its final at-bat after Jaime knocked an RBI single, but it was too little, too late as the hosts took the 6-2 win.

Jaime wielded the hot stick, going 4-for-4 in the contest.
