Sophomore Gina Rossi (Bakersfield, Calif.) also hit an RBI single and the Friars took advantage of four errors.
The Bulldogs cut the lead to 6-1 in the fourth inning when Jessica Meyer singled to left center to drive in Megan Enyeart. However, Yale could not get any closer. Freshman Christy Becker (San Diego, Calif.) increased PC's lead to 7-1 when she belted a solo home run to left field. It marked her sixth home run of the season.
Senior Rachel Bartholomew (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) finished with two hits in the first contest and became the school's all-time leader in hits (205). Senior Sara Surosky (Elmira, N.Y.) earned her 11th win of the season as she pitched four innings, allowed one run on eight hits and struck out three batters.

The lead increased to 6-0 in the fourth inning as the Friars scored four runs. Garcia smacked her second home run of the game (sixth overall) to make the score, 3-0. Pittman and senior Katie Ross (Middleboro, Mass.) also had RBI singles in the fourth inning. The Friars put the game away in the fifth inning with two more runs.
