Thorson leads Cal to World Series
Shorecrest graduate Kristina Thorson tossed a one-hit shutout in the NCAA Tournament Region 5 championship game to lead top-seeded California to a 2-0 win over Nebraska May 23 at Bowlin Stadium.
The victory secured the Golden Bears (50-11) a spot in the NCAA Women’s College World Series for the sixth straight year.
Thorson, who finished the regional with a 4-0 record, was named the region’s most outstanding player. The sophomore right-hander threw 28 scoreless innings, allowed just six hits, struck out 30 and walked just four in regional play.
She was perfect through six innings of the title game until Anne Steffan led off the bottom of the seventh with a bunt single for the Nebraska’s only hit of the game.
Thorson, an All-Pac-10 first-team selection, finished the game with eight strikeouts and no walks. She improved to 27-3 overall.
