Valencia, ranked No. 4, won the first game behind timely hitting from Mallory DiFatta and Kortney Bell, both of whom hit solo home runs for the Vikings (3-1).

However, she got Cambria Miranda to pop out. It was more of the same in the second game as Valencia scored seven runs in the first two innings to distance itself from Camarillo (2-2), which scored once in the sixth and twice in the bottom of the seventh. - Jacob H.
