Alysse Flores led the Tigers with two hits in the game, while Elizabeth Sigala and Guadalupe Lemus also had hits for RCC.
Riverside scored first and held a 5-1 lead after scoring four runs in the top of the third. With two runners on, Flores doubled down the left field line to score one before Lemus knocked a two-RBI base hit. Bobbi Arce walked in a fifth run, but it was all the Dons would allow.
Santa Ana turned things around with six runs in the fifth and ended the game early with four runs in the sixth to put the run-rule in play.
The Tigers and Dons continue the series in Santa Ana on Wednesday before closing out the three-game swing on Friday in Riverside.
