Toros Go 1-1 at Mountain Dew Softball Classic
April 25, 2003

The Cal State Dominguez Hills softball team went 1-1 in Day One action of the Mountain Dew Classic, hosted by CS Bakersfield.

In game one, CSUDH faced off against CCAA rival Cal State Bakersfield. The 'Runners defeated the Toros 6-0. CSUDH was only able to get three hits, one each by Natalie Sharp, Courtney Woltz and Cindy Gates. The 'Runners scored five of their six runs in the top of the fourth inning with two outs.

CSUDH did put together a good defensive play, as a relay by outfielder Renee Snyder to second baseman Dani Proctor to catcher Daisy Flores prevented a homerun by CSUB.

Kim O'Hanian was the losing pitcher in the contest. She threw 2 strikeouts, allowed seven hits with two of those being triples, and walked four batters.

In game two, CSUDH took advantage of weak pitching by Chico State, to post a 3-2 victory over the Wildcats. CSUC threw ten walks, and the Toros used a four-hit attack in the winning effort. The Toros got two runs in the second inning when two Toros were walked and then advanced by a wild pitch. A single by Dani Proctor and an error by the Wildcat catcher would score two CSUDH runs.

CSUDH struck again in the bottom of the sixth when a leadoff walk by CSUC followed by a single by Daisy Flores to score Jo Orozco would put CSUDH ahead.

CSUDH will continue tournament action tomorrow. At 9 am the Toros will meet the Aggies of UC Davis to conclude game two of the CCAA doubleheader on April 11, that was suspended due to darkness. The game was tied at 10 apiece after six innings.
