CARSON- In a dominant display of offense, the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros outpaced Sonoma State with a decisive 9-3 victory.
 
The Toros fired up the scoreboard early in the first inning, setting the tone for the game. Garet Crenshaw kicked off the scoring with an RBI single that brought Jeffrey Ray home.

The Toros extended their lead in the fourth with Ray flying out to center field to bring CJ Masciel across the plate. The fifth inning saw further action as Emilio Barrera and Grant Decatrel each recorded RBI singles, pushing the score to 6-0.
 
Sonoma State attempted a late-game comeback in the eighth inning with a hitting a two-run double, but the Toros responded emphatically. Karliner and Accordino each blasted home runs in the bottom of the eighth, Karliner's being a solo shot and Accordino's a two-run homer, sealing the win for the Toros.
