THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Ashlyn Flinchum provided another dominant performance in the circle, posting her second complete-game shutout of the season to lead Cal Lutheran softball to a 6-0 win over Occidental. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
Flinchum sat down the Tigers (5-11, 0-1 SCIAC) in order in the top of the first, her first of four one-two-three innings. Emily Blank, Olivia Vargas, and Hanna Booth all reached to load the bases, and Casey Edwards hit a two-run single to quickly make it 2-0 Regals (4-7, 1-0 SCIAC). 

As Flinchum continued to sit hitters down, the Regals added more. In the bottom of the third, Vargas doubled to drive in Blank and Ahlyssa Guzman singled to score Booth, who reached via walk. 

Danielle Diaz added a pinch-hit double with two outs in the fifth inning which ended up manufacturing a run, as she scored on a Tigers error. Edwards recorded her second RBI of the game and team-leading eighth of the season when she drove in Kalli Strahm to make it a 6-0 game.

- Flinchum (4-1): 7.0 IP, 2 H, BB, 8 K's
- Vargas: 2-4, 2B, R, RBI
