Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 REDDING, Calif. - With what seems like the Warriors running from the weather, this past weekend the softball team was able to get in three games on Saturday at the Simpson Round Robin after Friday's games being rained out.

The Warriors headed out early Saturday morning to take on Eastern Oregon in a single-game showing against the Mountaineers for the weekend. In the bottom of the first inning the Warriors loaded the bases but were unable to put one across until the fifth inning when they trailed the Mountaineers 1-0.
Senior Kyla Cisneros singled up the middle with two on in the bottom of the fifth to score Tessa Harris to even the score 1-1.

Each team would add another run in the eighth inning with the international tiebreaker in effect, Corina Salinas started on second base coming in to score after stealing third and Taya Ruiz reaching first on an error.

Going into the ninth inning the Mountaineers took the lead (3-2) with the last chance bottom of the inning up for the Warriors to do-or-die. Clarissa Blaquera started things off for Jessup with a sacrifice bunt pushing Ali Medina to scoring position, the tying run on third.

Pinch hitter, Rachel Hooper came in and reached first on a wild throw, scoring the tying run. With just one out, the Warriors continued to battle with a single by Stephanie Scott to move over the runner, Kristina Ortiz who would score the game-winning run.

Shelbi Graifman pitched the complete nine innings allowing the 3 runs with 8 strikeouts, she advances to 2-3 on the season.

The Warriors were in for a long day with a double-header against Corban University slated for 4pm and 6pm.

Despite the nine hits compiled for Jessup in game one, the Warriors were unable to push a run across the plate behind Mariah Gonzalez on the mound, falling to the Corban Warriors 6-0.  A triple threat in the Warriors went 2-for-3, collecting 6 of the nine hits; Cisneros, Blaquera and Medina.

In the final game for the day, and second in the double-header against Corban, the Warriors continued to struggle cashing in the runs, but posted five hits led again by Cisneros (2-3) and Harris.

???????Graifman would reach on an error by Corban, scoring Cisneros for the lone run of the game for the Warriors dropping their second contest to Corban 6-1.

With the three-game weekend the Warriors are 3-6 overall headed into conference play this coming week. Weather continues to rule the Warrior schedule as the game with Simpson on Monday has been canceled, but the girls will hit the road and take on Embry Riddle on Friday, followed by their first conference matchup at Arizona Christian on Saturday.
