CLAREMONT, CA - Errors and walks allowed Occidental to rally for seven runs in the fifth and pull game two of Saturday's double-header out of reach. The Tigers took the win 11-7.

Alexis Garcia PI '11 then walked with the bases loaded to put the Sagehens up 2-0. In the second Corley doubled to score Hynes. Brianna Marcantoni PI '12 then singled to bring Corley home and give the Sagehens the 4-0 lead. Yet, two errors by P-P in the third allowed the Tigers, to tie the game up 4-4. Roach led the fourth off with a walk, setting the stage for Corley who blasted her fifth homerun of the year to give the Sagehens a 6-4 lead.

Things fell apart for the Sagehens in the fifth as the Tigers rallied for seven runs. P-P rallied in the sixth after Marcantoni was hit by a pitch and Cross singled. Alexis Garcia PI '11 reached on a fielder's choice, allowing Marcantoni to score and putting P-P within four runs of a tie. Yet, the Sagehens could not rally in the seventh and took the 11-7 loss.
