Box Score A couple weeks after pulling a huge upset of #1 Cal Baptist, #22 Cal State San Marcos faced off again with the mighty Lancers – this time in the Regional playoffs. While CSUSM put up a valiant effort, a couple late home runs and an untimely triple play led to a 2-0 defeat. The Region II playoffs are double-elimination, so CSUSM will be fighting for its playoff life at 1:00 PM today when it takes on the loser of the Biola/Point Loma game going on now. The morning game was a pitcher’s duel, as CSUSM’s Melissa Lerno dueled Cal Baptist’s Melanie Ahumada for five full scoreless innings. The Cougars had a tremendous opportunity to get on the board in the fifth, as Lerno led off with a single and Lauren Nelson reached on an error. But with both runners going, a bunt attempt was popped up, and the Lancers turned a crippling triple play. CBU wasted little time in capitalizing on the sudden shift of momentum, as Nikki Low and Sara Hurlbut launched solo home runs in the sixth, providing the game’s only runs. Amy Thomas came in to close out the 2-0 contest.
