The Cougars went to the seventh down 7-1 when they started to rally. Aleeya Ybarra started the inning with a single and Tessa Sterling followed with a double. ARod’s groundout scored Ybarra.
Back-to-back singles by Christine Macias and Olmedo produced another run to cut the lead to 7-3 with still two runners on base and just one out.
