SAN MARCOS, Calif. -- The Sonoma State softball team continued its streak of victories, stretching it to 11 games with another sweep on Sunday at Cal State San Marcos. The Seawolves (20-7, 15-5) jump into a tie for third place in the CCAA standings after a perfect 8-0 Spring Break roadtrip to Southern California this past week. The Cougars fell to 7-16 overall and 6-12 in the CCAA.
In the opener,
Madison Barto provided all of the offense Sonoma needed, doubling home
Karly Macadangdang in the third inning, then smashing a solo home run to center field in the sixth inning for the only two runs scored on either side.
Brigid Ruiz (5-3) took care of business in the pitching circle, allowing just four hits while striking out a career-high eight batters. In fact, Ruiz didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning.
In the series finale, Barto put the Seawolves on the scoreboard in the first inning, ripping a run-scoring single to left, plating
Jenny Collazo for the 1-0 lead.
Lindsey Calcany Blair followed with an RBI sacrifice bunt to push the lead to 2-0.
Jenn Amaral did the same in the third inning for the 3-0 lead.
The Cougars finally broke through in the sixth inning for a run, but that would be all the rest of the day.
Jordann White put a bow on the week with a solo home run in the seventh to secure the 4-1 victory.
Brielle Vidmar (8-2) went the first four innings in the circle and struck out five, giving up four hits in the process.
