Freshman\u00a0Anais Perez<\/a> pitched seven scoreless innings in leading College of the Canyons softball to a 3-0 non-conference victory over No. 18 Long Beach City College at Whitten Field on Wednesday, March 11.<\/p>\n

Canyons (12-10, 0-2) scored a pair of runs in the first to build an early 2-0 advantage, then added an insurance score in the fifth. That would prove enough as Perez did her part in neutralizing the LBCC (13-7, 5-5) lineup.<\/p>\n

Perez (7-7) scattered seven hits and issued just one walk while facing 27 batters. The win got the freshman right-hander back to .500 on the year and came one day after a rough outing in a run-shortened 10-0 loss at Antelope Valley College on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

COC sophomore\u00a0Krista Viereck<\/a>\u00a0helped bring in the two early runs with a sac-fly to deep right field in the first inning that scored\u00a0Belinda Lujano<\/a>. An error by the LBCC catcher during that sequence also allowed\u00a0Jocelyn Jimenez<\/a>\u00a0to come in, putting COC ahead 2-0.<\/p>\n

In the fifth it was\u00a0Giselle Merida<\/a>\u00a0reaching on an outfield error that gave\u00a0Jeniece Jimenez<\/a>\u00a0an opening to score COC\u2019s third run.<\/p>\n

The Vikings committed five errors in the game to aid the Cougars\u2019 efforts. Long Beach entered the game with the fourth fewest errors in the state at 12.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Canyons turned a crucial bases-loaded double play in the seventh to help preserve the victory. The double play was just the fourth turned by the Cougars this season.<\/p>\n

Lujano and\u00a0Jocelyn Jimenez<\/a>\u00a0both had two hits in the game.\u00a0Jasmine Soriano<\/a>\u00a0walked twice and recorded a hit. The Cougars also stole three bases on the day.<\/p>\n

LBCC began the week as the No. 18 ranked team in the state according to the most recent California Community College Fast Pitch Coaches Association (3CFCA) rankings released on March 10. The Cougars are not currently ranked.<\/p>\n

Canyons resumes Western State Conference, South Division play on Tuesday, March 17, with a road outing at L.A. Mission College (10-11, 1-0).<\/p>\n
