With what looked like a chance to mercy rule the Coyotes after five innings of play, CSUSB got hot with the bats to tighten the contest.  The visitors added two runs in the both the fifth and sixth innings . 

Vaneza Hoover earned the win for the Jacks.  Hoover allowed seven hits and three earned runs. 

The Jacks continued to see power offensively from Perrine (3-7), Courtney Hiatt (3-6), Viveiros (2-4) both hits being home runs, Lindsay Warren (1-3), and Stalf.
