LAS VEGAS—Using a late-inning rally for the third straight game, Western Oregon University defeated No. 7-ranked Chico State, 7-2, in the final game of the Desert Stinger on Sunday afternoon.
 
Down 2-0 heading to the top of the 6th inning, Western Oregon (3-0) scored seven runs in the final two frames to leave the tournament as one of only three teams to finish undefeated.

San Francisco State and Cal State San Bernardino also went 3-0 over the weekend. Western Oregon outscored its opponents 21-10 in the three games. CSU San Bernardino captured the tournament crown with a tie-breaking 34-5 run differential. 
 
Starting the rally in the 6th, Ryanne Whitaker beat out the throw for an infield single and a sacrifice by Ayanna Arceneaux quickly gave WOU a runner in scoring position.
 
In an immediate payoff, Mariah Deleon delivered with an RBI single to center for the first run while Cheyanne Rimer followed with a blast off the fence in right field to knot the game at 2-2
 
After working to load the bases, the Wolves received the go-ahead run on an error off the bat of Kennedy Coy that allowed Rimer to scamper home.
