Freshman Bayleigh Fry pitched a complete game shutout as the Vikings defeated Cerritos 3-0 in a game dedicated to Women’s History Month on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fry would pitch seven innings posting 11 strikeouts but would give up three hits and one walk.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels great. I have never faced this team before. Being a freshman here and getting the starting position as a pitcher is very overwhelming, today was such a special day being Women\u2019s History Month and I think our team did a great job, \u201d Fry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings held a ceremony before the game honoring some of the women who have made a difference on campus including Board of Tustee\u2019s President Vivian Malauulu who threw out the ceremonial first pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team would also hold a tailgate before the game with free food and drinks such as hotdogs, popcorn, chips, water and soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offense for both teams did not come out swinging as the Vikings were held scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a good rhythm right now 1-22. I feel confident in all of our pitchers and all of our hitters. We have a bench that’s always ready to go, I’m just excited about the rhythm that we have right now, \u201d Director of Softball Operations Megan Martinez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshman Anaya Togia started the scoring in the fifth inning with a double to give the Vikings a 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew how to come up big for my team because it was one of the last innings that we were going to play and I knew that I had to get it done,\u201d Togia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week Togia was named player of week by the California Community College Fastpitch Coaches Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big accomplishment here. I have been working hard, I\u2019m also a freshman, it\u2019s just a big deal to get player of the week,\u201d Togia said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Jordan Villanueva singled and advanced to second on the throw shortly after during the fifth inning to extend the lead to 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this win the Vikings extended their winning streak to eight games, their conference record to 5-0, their overall record to 14-4 as their next game will be against East Los Angeles College on  Tuesday at home at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
