Fullerton, Calif. – The Mt. SAC Softball Team bounced back from a loss to Fullerton College earlier this season, earning a 4-0 victory over the Hornets on Saturday, March 29. This win extends their winning streak to seven games, improving their record to 17-9 overall and 11-4 in South Coast Conference play. Fullerton now sits at 10-15, with a 4-5 mark in Orange Empire Conference action.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

A big second inning for the Mounties was all they needed to secure the win. Isabella Aspeitia's two-run double to left field drove in Katie Griego, Morgan Kneubuhler, and Samantha Orozco, giving Mt. SAC a 3-0 advantage. Sarai Raygoza followed up with a single up the middle, bringing Aspeitia home to cap the scoring at 4-0.

Samantha Vizcarra was dominant in the circle, pitching a complete-game shutout. She faced 25 batters, allowed no runs, and struck out two while walking just one. Fullerton's Grace Workman also went the distance, but gave up eight hits and three earned runs while striking out three.

BY THE NUMBERS:

• Isabella Aspeitia (Mt. SAC): 1-for-3, 3 RBI, 2B
• Samantha Vizcarra (Mt. SAC): 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO
