Sacramento City Takes Control Early
Sacramento City wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning. After Chloe Kimbrell scored on a fielding error, the home team took a 1-0 lead. Reedley answered in the third inning when Angelina Castellanos scored on a wild pitch, tying the game at 1-1. But Sacramento City quickly regained the lead with two runs in the third. Ava Seguin tripled home Jenna Potter and then scored on an RBI single from Amanda Royal, making it 3-1.

The scoring continued in the sixth as Angela Marfull singled to bring home Potter, followed by Madelynn Flores' sacrifice fly that allowed Royal to score, pushing the lead to 9-1.
Korrie Almond Shines in the Circle
Korrie Almond (3-1) was dominant on the mound for Sacramento City. She pitched a complete game, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out four. Almond kept Reedley off balance throughout, never allowing more than one runner to reach base in an inning after the third.
