Santa Ana Wins Title

Santa Ana, a late addition to the Fullerton Invitational, won the softball tournament with a 3-1 victory over Chaffey in the title game Monday.

The Dons, who entered when San Bernardino Valley dropped out last week, got a two-run single from Rachelle Ngayan with two outs in the third inning for a 3-0 lead.

The Dons beat Eastern Arizona, 3-2, in eight innings in one semifinal when Rachelle Ngayan scored on a two-out error.

The Dons completed a long day by beating Irvine Valley, 4-2, in an Orange Empire Conference game.

Chaffey scored five runs in the seventh to beat Fullerton, 8-7, in one semifinal and end the Hornets’ 16-game winning streak.

Steve Bendt shot a 74 and Mark Hewlett had a 75 for fourth-place Santa Ana (389).
