CSUDH Edges Davis 11-10, Then Splits in Tourney Action
April 26, 2003

Cal State Dominguez Hills pulled out an 11-10 win over CCAA leader UC Davis Saturday. The game, which was the conclusion of game two of the April 11 doubleheader that was called at a 10-10 tie after six innings due to darkness, was concluded today at the Mountain Dew Classic held up in Bakersfield.

The home team Toros sent the one and two UCD batters down, but a base hit up the middle by Aggie Susan Churchwell would put a runner in scoring position. But tough Toro defense would lead to an out and retire the inning.

Ally Webber was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the seventh and was sacrificed over by Dani Proctor. A basehit by Cindy Gates would put runners on the corners. An Aggie error would then allow Webber to score the winning run.

Back to tourney action....

CSUDH opened the day with CS San Bernardino. The Coyotes got out to a 6-0 lead in the second inning, mostly due to a three run homer by Tracy Schioppi

The Toros worked their way back into the contest with two runs in the third and three runs in the fifth. They tied it up in the sixth when Ally Webber nailed a single and was sacrificed over by Dani Proctor. After Gates was hit by a pitch, Renee Snyder drove a RBI single deep to score Webber. An error by the Coyote catcher would score Gates. CSUDH went ahead 7-6 to post the win in the game.

In game two, errors plagued the Toros as the Warriors of Cal State Stanislaus only needed six innings to post the 8-0 mercy win. Jackie Miller was in the circle for CSUS and threw a one-hitter, while the Toros committed six errros.

So far, CSUDH is 2-2 in tournament action and will play UC Davis Sunday.
