TURLOCK, Calif. --- The Cal State Monterey Bay softball team completed a four-game sweep of pool play in the first two days of  the Tournament of Champions at CSU Stanislaus on Saturday, defeating Hawaii Pacific 2-1 in eight innings and then cruising past Chaminade University 8-0.

After HPU took a 1-0 lead in the  seventh, Monterey Bay tied the score when pinch runner Channing Peebles reached home on a Shae Olds' single. Trujillo finished with two hits for CSUMB. #Angela Cabral# (12-6) got the win with the four-hitter.

CSUMB finished the day with an easy 8-0 victory over Chaminade.
