Simi Valley made it interesting at the end, but Valencia held on and beat the Pioneers, 3-0, to win their second consecutive Southern Section-Toyota Division I championship Saturday at Barber Park in Irvine.

With runners on first and second with one out, Ali Mapes hit a line drive right back to pitcher Jessica Spigner, who caught the ball and threw to first for the game-ending double play.

Spigner, who was walked three times, finished with a four-hitter.
