Freshman right-handed starting pitcher Victoria Talamantes (La Quinta H.S.) tossed her eighth complete game of the season and her fifth game with five strike outs or more, as she scattered five runs over ten hits for her second win of the season in the circle. Freshman shortstop Rebecca Perez (Palm Springs H.S.) had her fifth multi-hit game of the season and scored the game winning run batting out of the two-hole. Freshman first baseman Arissa Gonzalez (Thermal Coachella Valley) had her eighth multi-hit game of the season and sophomore center fielder Rubi Borjas (Thermal Coachella Valley) punched a bloop single to right-center for the game winning hit, scoring Perez from third.
