Fresno State Longballs Fly Over the Rainbow Wahine
Jamie Southern's and Christina Clark's home runs, Southern's 11 Ks lead Bulldogs to Kia Klassic Quarterfinals

It was win-win for the Bulldogs Friday at the 2003 edition of the Kia Klassic in Fullerton. After the Bulldogs scored seven runs to defeat #3Nebraska earlier in the day, and beat Hawai'i in an evening game.

Bulldog shortstop Christina Clark put the game's first run on the board with a solo home run in the third inning off of Hawai'i pitcher Melissa Coogan. Jamie Southern made the score 3-0 with a home run three batters later, bringing in Angelina Diaz, who had walked.

That was the only scoring the Bulldogs needed, as Hawai'i scored only once. Stacey Porter tripled and Kate Judd drove her in with a double in the sixth inning.

Southern scattered six singles besides the sixth-inning double and triple, and struck out 11 Wahine en route to her sixth win of the year, against eight losses.

Bulldog third baseman Angelina Diaz was 2-for-2 with a walk, and DP Elizabeth Pierce went 2-for-3 in the game.
