CARSON, Calif. – Kaylee Hull delivered two walk-off home runs, including a record-breaking blast in the nightcap, to lead Cal State Dominguez Hills to a doubleheader sweep over No. 18 Cal State San Marcos Friday afternoon at Toro Diamond. The Toros (29-20, 16-14 CCAA) rallied to win the opener 8-6 before blanking the Cougars 1-0 in a tightly contested Game 2.
Game 1: Toros 8, Cougars 6
After falling behind early, the Toros chipped away at a 4-1 deficit with key hits from Lillianna Garcia and Hull. Garcia's RBI double in the fourth sparked the comeback, and Hull tied the game in the fifth with a two-run single. The Toros added two more runs in the sixth, capped by an RBI single from Alexis Aguado.
Tied 6-6 heading into the bottom of the seventh, Hull came through. With a runner on, she launched a two-run homer to left to walk it off and give Dominguez Hills a thrilling win. Garcia earned the win in relief, tossing five solid innings and allowing just one earned run on nine hits.

Hull continued her clutch performance in Game 2, breaking a scoreless tie with another walk-off home run—her second of the day and 36th of her career—to lift the Toros to a 1-0 shutout victory. The blast not only secured the win but broke the program's all-time home run record, previously held by Adriana Sanchez (34 HRs from 2012–14).
