Softball: Valencia tacks on another to take a 2-0 lead

In the bottom of the fourth inning Saturday night, Valencia's Madison Shipman, a sophomore, drove-in Shannon Fitzgerald with a two-out double to center. In the top of the fifth, pitcher Jessica Spigner put down SImi Valley in order on only five pitches.

Heading into the bottom of the fifth, Valencia is ahead, 2-0, in the Southern Section-Toyota Division I championship game at Barber Park in Irvine.
