Following a decisive win in the opener, Pace notched an extra-inning triumph in the day's finale. The Setters broke open a 3-3 tie with a pair of runs in the eighth inning.

Freshman Arielle Acosta (Union City, CA/Moreau Catholic High School) came up with the big hit in the second game, driving in both runs in the eighth inning with an RBI single up the middle. Acosta also put together a solid opening contest, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored.
