The Tartans have defeated Bonita, Claremont and Alta Loma in that order, and have moved into sole possession of second place in the Palomares League with just two games to go.

Virginia Nemeth went 3 for 3 with three home runs and five RBIs.
She also scored four runs.

Four of her five RBIs came on a grand slam.
Morgan Coleman singled, doubled and scored once.
