Game Two
The Regals gave a valiant effort, but it wasn't enough to avoid the sweep. Casey Edwards commanded the mound in game two and pitched all seven innings, keeping the Sagehens to just two runs. The scoring didn't come until the fifth as Pomona-Pitzer got both its runs in the same inning. 

The Regals tallied six hits in the afternoon showdown, Mendoza recording another two after game one. Olivia Vargas, Ally Macapagal, Lopez and Edwards all got one hit a piece.
