CARSON, Calif. -- The Sonoma State softball team pounded out 16 runs on 16 hits as it cruised to a doubleheader sweep of host Cal State Dominguez Hills Tuesday afternoon in Carson with scores of 6-2 in game one and 10-3 in game two. The Seawolves rise to 14-7 overall and 9-5 in the CCAA. The Toros stumbled to 1-22 (0-18 CCAA).
Offensively,
Alison Strycula and
Karly Macadangdang each had three hits in the two games combined; all three of Macadangdang's hits were for extra bases (two doubles and a triple).
Lindsey Calcany Blair had two hits, both doubles, and
Jordann White,
Jenn Amaral and
Madison Barto all hit home runs; Barto's home run was the first of her career, a pinch-hit three run bomb in the sixth inning of game two.
In the pitching circle,
Brielle Vidmar (5-2) and
Teresa Danenberg (2-2) both earned victories and
Gabby Dupree was credited with her first save of the season after working the final three innings of game one. As a group, the Seawolf pitching staff, which included all four pitchers on the roster -- Vidmar, Danenberg, Dupree and
