Mesa, AZ - The Mesa Thunderbirds softball team defeated the Eastern Arizona Gila Monsters in game one, 8-2, then took the loss in game two, 3-0, Tuesday afternoon at MCC.
It was Ieleen Guardado we smashed a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning of game one that set the tone for the T-Birds. Another homer in the fourth inning by Alyssa Matus began another four run inning for Mesa as two singles and a triple later by Alexis Cirerol saw the T-Birds in complete control.
