Sierra College proved the 3-2 victory in Game One of the state tournament versus the Cerritos College softball team was not a fluke.
Cerritos faced Sierra Saturday in a rematch and this time, Cerritos had no chance as it was eliminated from the tournament,8-1.
After Sierra sent Cerritos into the loser's bracket in their first meeting, Cerritos was forced to win six straight games to win the championship.
On day two of the tournament, Cerritos beat Riverside and Cypress but fell short again to Sierra.
The Falcons were able to get a quick 7-0 lead on Riverside and win, 10-4.
But it was the second game of the day versus Cypress that might have been the deciding factor in Cerritos' elimination.
Although the Falcons beat Cypress, 11-10, in walk-off fashion in 11 innings, they paid a price as Pitcher Hillary Perez-Ashley finished with a total of 20 innings pitched for the day.
Perez-Ashley was asked to start the third game of the day versus Sierra. With the short rest in between games, she allowed five runs in four innings.
Cerritos' offense gave a mere contribution as well with only three hits in the losing cause.
Sierra went on to lose in the championship game on Sunday against Mt.San Antonio.
