CYPRESS, CA – The No. 2 seed Cypress College softball team is headed to the Super Regionals after a 3-0 victory over No. 15 seed Ventura College in Game 2 of their postseason matchup on Saturday afternoon.
Behind a dominant performance in the circle from sophomore pitcher Haley Tucker, who scattered five hits over seven shutout innings, the Chargers kept the Pirates off the scoreboard and clinched the best-of-three series sweep. Tucker threw 83 pitches, 59 of them for strikes, and did not issue a single walk while striking out three.
Cypress (33-9) got on the board in the top of the first inning when Nanea Kyle scored on a fielder's choice and throwing error. The Chargers added two more runs in the fifth, sparked by a pinch-hit RBI single from Amanda Johansen and a run-scoring single to center by Kyle.
Kyle also contributed on the basepaths with two stolen bases, while Cypress played clean defense behind Tucker with zero errors on the day.
UP NEXT: The Chargers will host the Super Regionals on the weekend of May 9-10.
