SB: Linnane Powers Seawolves to Split with Cal State San Marcos

SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Skylar Linnane lifted the Sonoma State softball team to a 5-2 victory in the second game of Friday's doubleheader with a pair of home runs.  The Seawolves dropped the first game 3-1 in a pitchers' duel and moved to 10-7 overall on the season. 
 
SSU's Camille Rodriguez and CSU San Marcus's Jayline Sloss were locked in from the start, each cruising through three innings, allowing just three hits combined.  Rodriguez retired 11 straight at one point, extending from the final out of the first to the first out of the fifth.  The Seawolves broke the scoreless tie in the fourth with the game's first run.  Jordyn Martinez led off the inning with single and advanced to second on an error.  Lauren Mirtoni singled her over to third where Martinez would score when Mirtoni was thrown out trying to steal second. 
 
Rodriguez cruised through the fourth but the Cougars were able to get to her in the fifth.  A single and double gave the home team a pair of runners before pinch hitter Ryann Steiner belted a homer over the left field fence for a 3-1 lead.  The Seawolves only produced one runner in the final two innings but could not generate any runs. 
 
Sonoma State jumped out early in the second game, plating two runs in the opening frame.  Anna Zoia-Buescher walked and Martinez followed with a single to start the threat.  Giana Hays ripped a double into right field to score the first run of the contest and Martinez would later come into score on a groundout by Mirtoni. 
 
CSUSM got one run back in the bottom half of the inning off starter Jesse Dupuis but Linnane didn't let that game stay at one run for long.  She led off the top of the second inning with a solo homerun to centerfield to make it 3-1.  Sonoma State added another in the third inning with Hays reaching on an error and scoring on a single by Mirtoni. 
 
Dupuis cruised through the second and third innings and Linnane was back at it in the fourth, once again leading off the inning with a solo blast to extend the lead by another run.  Leading 5-1, Dupuis allowed one run in the bottom of the frame but left with a 5-2 lead.  Nichole Sarra did the rest, closing out the contest with three scoreless innings and picking up her second save of the season. 
 
Dupuis improved to 5-0 on the season and earned her second win of the week with four innings of work.  Linnane's two homeruns pushed her team leading total to five. 
 
The Seawolves snapped the Cougars 13 game winning streak with the victory and the two teams will faceoff again tomorrow for another doubleheader.  Live stats and video links available at sonomaseawolves.com.
