On Saturday against California State University San Bernardino, the Tritons picked up two more wins in an exciting fashion.

Harlan again was on the winning end, striking out seven. Aggabao finished with two hits and a run scored.
In the second game, the Tritons were behind 2-1 going into the home half of the sixth inning. Again it was Aggabao involved in the heroics and she drove in Cordero and Kristina Anderson for a 3-2 lead they would not relinquish.
Martenelli picked up the win, striking out seven, and Aggabao finished with two hits and two RBIs.
