SEATTLE - With a 3-2 count, CSU Bakersfield catcher Jo Larios hit her first career homer, a solo shot to left center in the top of the seventh inning, to lead the Roadrunners to their first-ever WAC Tournament title with a 1-0 win over NM State Saturday in Seattle.
Roadrunner centerfielder Sydney Raeber made a pair of diving catches in the second inning en route to tournament MVP honors. She also made three relief appearances during the tournament, allowing just three hits over 4.0 innings, picking up two saves.
CSUB starter Amber Mills earned the complete-game shutout, scattering four hits while striking out four and walking one. She was named to the all-tournament team along with Larios.
