 How They Scored


 
  • Jay Ross opened the bottom of the first with a leadoff walk and, despite the wind blowing out, pitcher Mariah Ramirez followed with a two-run homer to dead center that put the Gators in an early 2-0 hole. Kaylee Hull then doubled to right before starter Elise Roy settled down after that and retired the next five batters.
  • However, a two-out error in the bottom of the second kept the inning alive for the Toros. Roy walked the next batter and another infield error allowed a run to score, putting the Toros up 3-0. CSUDH loaded up the bases  but Roy got out of it.
  • CSUDH added two more in the fourth on Ramirez's second homer of the day, her league-leading 19th of the season.
  • Gators got on the board in the sixth. Rylee McDaniel walked, DeLeon doubled to left center, and McDaniel later scored on a Guerrera groundout. However, the Toros limited the damage and DeLeon was stranded at third.
  • The Toros got the run back in the bottom of the sixth on Hull's RBI single back up the middle.

  • Roy (13-9) struggled with her command. Just 39 of her 74 pitches were for strikes. She was charged with four runs, three earned, and issued three walks.

  • Ramirez (20-7) did not allow a hit until the fifth, a Nilson single. She walked two and struck out four.
