HOW IT HAPPENED
  • CSUSB got on the board first, scoring on a bases loaded fielder's choice in the first inning.

  • Nikki Andelin's RBI blooper behind the shortstop put the Cougars up 2-1.
  • With the bases loaded and two outs, LeClair and Kat Calderon each drew walks to extend CSUSM's lead to 4-1 in the second inning.
  • The Coyotes answered with two runs in the top of the third on Dominque Walker's RBI double to right center and Finn's single to left.
  • In the bottom of the third, LeClair knocked out an RBI single through the right side to extend CSUSM's lead to 5-3.
  • The Coyotes evened the game in the top of the fourth, taking advantage of two walks and a CSUSM error.
  • Neither team scored until the top of the ninth when CSUSB's Diana Gomez cleared the bases with a triple to right field, giving the Coyotes an 8-5 lead.
  • The Cougars fought back in the bottom of the frame when Andrea Wood hit a two-out single to left center and Newhouser homered to left center to close the gap to 8-7.
