With the victory, Cerritos improved to 19-1 overall and 6-1 in SCC play, while the Warriors dropped to 5-7-1 on the year and 0-5-1 in conference action. The Falcons will now host a pair of non-conference games on Saturday, as they face Santiago Canyon College (10:00 a.m.) and Bakersfield College at 2:00 p.m.

After a wild pitch advanced Guadagno to third, she came home on a sacrifice fly by sophomore pitcher Jessica Navarro (South Gate HS). Sophomore first baseman Stephanie Lomeli (Montebello HS) followed with a single, with sophomore catcher Nadine Garcia (St. Joseph HS) drawing a walk. Freshman outfielder Jennifer Salas (California HS) then followed with a two-run single to give the Falcons a 4-0 lead.
