“I love offensive production. To have so many girls up and down the lineup getting hits for us is a real positive,” said Dos Pueblos coach Mike Gerken.  “Emily did a great job in the circle for us today, really stifling their bats. Great pitching and great hitting is a nice little combo to have.”

The Chargers will travel to Ventura on Friday to conclude their two-game set. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
