Makimoto (1-0) went the first six innings and allowed the hit. Martin pitched the seventh.
Freshman third baseman Christy Alvarez singled in two runs in the Dons’ three-run fifth inning. Lee Bladow drove in one run and scored two more for defending state champion Rancho Santiago (3-0).
The Dons took the lead in the third when they scored two unearned runs thanks to two El Camino throwing errors.
