The Tartars were having trouble the entirety of the game, sophomore pitcher Cristina Valladares had eleven hits in total.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI’m just not putting my time in for my team, it’s all about improvement for me,\u201d Valladares said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Head Coach Megan Martinez, the Vikings need to be more aggressive offensively, as the team had missed opportunities to run it home more.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings previously won against the Tartars earlier in the season 10-8, but the win did not boast Head Coach Martinez.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe play every game like we’re in the championship, are previous wins against the team does not affect the way we play,\u201d Martinez said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings increase their overall record to 18-15, and 9-9 in the South Coast Conference.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings are set to play Citrus College next, this will be the first time this season the Vikings will be playing Citrus, the game will be on April 8 at 2 p.m.
