Fresno State's victory in the College World Series has some contestants in the Miss California Pageant cheering.

Miss La Verne Jessica Ortega, who's pictured here, is a catcher on the softball team at the University of La Verne in Southern California. She heard the game being broadcast Wednesday night while backstage getting ready for the opening night of competition.

"I was getting my hair teased and I was like, 'I'm in a dressing room and I'm listening to a baseball game. That's great.' "

Ortega does her talent tonight. "I'm doing a monologue because I can't play softball on stage," she says. "I'd love to show people my throw down to second, but I can't. I think I have a pretty good arm."

Miss Tustin Catherine Watters went to high school with Fresno State pitcher Sean Bonesteele. Watters' brother texted her about the Bulldogs' victory.

"I thought it was so awesome," says Watters, who is a big baseball fan. "I was so excited."
