OCP Softball continued their winning ways with their eighth consecutive victory of the season against Lake Highland Prep, 17-1. The victory also was the last home game of the regular season and their two seniors, Angelina Flores and Dayanara Perez went out in grand style.

Cruz had a bases-clearing triple after driving in the first of her team-leading four RBI in an earlier at-bat. Jimenez drove in two and scored twice while also stealing two bases. Perez, playing first base, was 1-for-3 scoring twice and driving in one RBI. Flores, playing right field was 0-for-3, but drove in one RBI. 

Junior Grace Thomas pitched a three-inning shutout to earn the win, her 10th of the season in 12 starts. She gave up one hit while striking out six of the 10 batters faced. Thomas' ERA dropped to 1.61 on the season.

OCP (17-4) had 13 hits with seven being doubles.
