LA VERNE, Calif. – Cal Lutheran softball traveled back to La Verne on Tuesday afternoon to resume play of game three of the SCIAC series, which was cut short back in March due to rain. 

The contest continued from the first inning with the Regals up 2-0, and they worked for four more runs to take the game 6-2 and secure the series win.

In the bottom of the frame, the Leopards managed to even the score at two. Their lead off reached on a Cal Lu error and stole second before another La Verne single and pair of stolen bases would put the two runners in scoring position. A two-run double brought everyone home, but the Regals did not let up.

A scoreless third inning took Cal Lutheran to the top of the fourth, where Brooke DeSmet led off with a single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Olivia Vargas moved DeSmet to third with another base hit and Danielle Diaz scored her with a sac fly to retake the lead.

A duo of errors from the Leopards would bring home two more Regals and Mia Antonino put the nail in the coffin with an RBI single to left.

Kalli Strahm (3-1) and Ashlyn Flinchum held La Verne scoreless through the rest of the game to pick up the win and the save, respectively. Six different Regals recorded a hit apiece and four had an RBI.
