LA MIRADA, Calif. – Ashton Cathey hit her first home run and Riley Donovan had a pair of extra-base hits as No. 5-ranked Southern Oregon won a 14-8 slugfest against Marymount (Calif.) on Thursday night at Biola Softball Field.

Donovan continued to torment opposing pitchers, going 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, three RBIs and two runs scored. The senior catcher has recorded eight extra-base hits through nine games. She started the scoring during the Raiders' three-run first inning with an RBI single and followed up in the second with an RBI double.

The Raiders tagged Marymount pitcher Liana Castro for 12 hits during her complete game. Twelve of the runs she surrendered were of the earned variety.

The Mariners, members of the California Pacific Conference, dropped to 1-6.

Freshman pitcher Mayze Menefee picked up the decision for SOU. She got through six innings and improved to 3-0 despite giving up seven hits and issuing four walks.
