York led California hits with two, while Tiffany Carel and Jamie Earnheart each contributed one hit.

"Our defense looked a lot better against Tipton," Lake said. "They were just hitting the ball in the gaps. Even though we didn't produce any runs, we did have some good hits against a great pitcher."
