SAN JOSE, Calif. - Jules Ronquillo went 3-for-3 with three RBIs, Jessica Giacoma had two hits with two runs scored and Reina Zermeno had two hits with one run scored to lead San José State (14-15, 2-1 MW) in a 6-5 walk-off win over Pacific (8-14, 0-0 WCC) Wednesday afternoon at Spartan Softball Stadium.

With the game tied at five in the bottom of the seventh inning, Jocylyn Vidal opened the inning with a double to the wall and then was pinch run for by Taylor Squires. With Zermeno at the plate, Pacific's catcher threw a bad ball back to their pitcher which allowed Squires to go to third and then Pacific's pitcher threw a wild throw to their third baseman which allowed Squires to score and win the game for the Spartans. It is the Spartans third true walk-off of the season.

SJSU also stole eight bases in the contest which ties the San José State single-game record. The last time the Spartans had eight stolen bases was Feb. 26, 2005 against Delaware. Adrianna Noriega stole a career-high three bases and it's the most by an individual player this season. The SJSU record is four in 2013 by Michelle Cox.
