Ceres totaled just three hits on offense.

Yasmine Garcia doubled, singled and drove in one run.

"We could have played better," Corsaut said. "We just didn't hit the ball."

The Sizzle defeated the Turlock Stingrays 14-1 in the quarterfinals Sunday morning.

Ceres scored all of its runs in the first inning.

"Everybody was hitting, walking or doing something," Corsaut said.

The Sizzle pounded 10 hits during the game.

Corsaut, Breanna DeLeon and Isabelle Saldana all plated one run.
