The Cerritos College softball team played Tuesday against Pasadena City College, winning 8-0.

The mercy rule was called and the game was done after the top of the fifth inning.

With the win, the Falcons have won seven in a row within the South Coast Conference.

The game started out slow as both teams came out with no hits up until the third inning, when Cerritos lighted up the scoreboard.

“I lost composure. I let the first play get to me and it cost us,” said pitcher Melissa O’Connor about the meltdown in the third inning.

The Falcons scored six runs in the third inning starting out with three consecutive batters getting on base.

“Hitting is our best quality, we have a lot of power,” said shortstop Cassandra Godoy.

After a couple hits, a wild pitch and a tag from third to home, the Falcons went up 6-0.

The big hit in the inning came from Brandi Rummel who hit a two-run single and finished the game with two singles, two RBIs and a run.

“The key was keeping the rally going when we were scoring,” Rummel said about the scoring in the third.

Once again, Cerritos got great pitching from their ace pitcher Hillary Perez-Ashley.

The Falcons allowed only two hits and holding the Lancers to no runs through five innings.

“We took care of business and our defense was really great,” Perez-Ashley said about the game.

The next game for Cerritos will be March 19 against East LA.
