In the pitcher’s circle, Nohemi Livingston earned two of those wins…Menlo freshman Lela Yslava pitched all 11 innings in the Oaks 4-3 win over San Francisco State. She gave up the three runs but allowed just four hits…The  unbalanced schedule makes it a little more difficult to chart the standings, but seven teams have .500 or better records in a battle for the top four spots. Concordia is 23-4, Biola is 17-4, Jessup is 13-9, Hawaii Hilo 14-10, Dominican is 10-8, Azusa Pacific is 12-10 and Vanguard is an even 12-12.  At the end of the regular season, the top four teams qualify for the PacWest tournament (May 5-7) in La Mirada at Biola University.
