CSUDH Eliminated from Easton Softball Tournament of Champions with Loss to Hawaii-Pacific
April 6, 2003

After going an impressive 5-0 in pool play at the Easton Tournament of Champions, the Cal State Dominguez Hills softball team was eliminated from play after the Toros suffered a 2-4 setback to Hawaii-Pacific University.

The Seawolves took a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and that was all it took for HPU to go on in championship play. The Toros two runs came in the second and third innings, but with just four hits in the game, it was hard for the Toros to find scoring opportunities. CSUDH would leave seven runners on base.

Natalie Sharp had a double for the Toros on the day, her third of the tournament.

Ally Webber had a strong tournament, batting .381 on the weekend with a team leading eight hits. Cindy Gates and Sharp had six hits apiece for the Toros.

In the circle, Janet Briscoe tossed two complete games which were shutout wins. She struckout 16 batters and allowed no runs for a 0.00 ERA. Val Long was 2-1 in 18.2 innings of action, while Kim O'Hanian added a win to her ledger.

The Toros (28-9-1) will take on CCAA leader UC Davis in a conference doubleheader slated for Friday, April 11 at 1:30 p.m.

CSUDH will wrap up its 2003 home schedule when they host the Wildcats of Chico State on Saturday with first pitch scheduled for 12:00.
