Danette Daguiar went 4-for-6 with a triple for Shadow Ridge, and Krislyn Campos was 3-for-5 with a double.

In the opener, Justin Garganese went 3-for-3 with three doubles as the Mustangs defeated the Gators, 5-4.

Campos went 2-for-3 for Shadow Ridge, which used a three-run fifth to hold off a late rally.

Owens went 2-for-3 with a home run and a double for Green Valley, and Calderon finished 2-for-3.
