Box Score 1 | Box Score 2  Cal State San Marcos softball lived up to its #8 ranking on Saturday, traveling to Biola and getting two impressive wins, 11-0 in game one and 6-2 in game two.

The Cougars improve to 12-4 on the season.  Biola drops to 10-8.

Coach Dave Williams' team was firing on all cylinders on the day, scoring plenty of runs and getting great pitching from Brenna Sandberg.  The senior All-American went the distance in both games, tossing 7 innings of 4-hit shutout ball in game one, striking out 7 and walking 1.  In game two, she allowed 2 runs in 7 innings, striking out 10 and walking 1.  Sandberg is now 11-4 on the season.

At the plate, the Cougar offense provided plenty of support.  In game one, the scoring got started with a two-out RBI single by Theresa Houle in the top of the first.  The 1-0 score would remain until the fourth inning, when CSUSM scored five to blow the game open.  Shanti Poston led off with a triple, Kimi Villapando drove her in with a base hit, and after a Sarah Quiambao walk and an error loaded the bases, Alyssa Dronenburg delivered the big blow in the form of a bases-clearing double.  Alex Miller promptly followed that up with an RBI double of her own to make it 6-0.

In the fifth, Villalpando, Quiambao, and Derrisha Lacey strung together three straight hits to push another run across.  The Cougars would add on four more runs in the seventh, with Ingram and Dronenburg recording RBI's before Miller blasted a two-run home run to cap off the scoring.

But the Cougar lineup didn't use all its firepower in game one, as the team had enough left in the tank to plate six more runs in the back end of the double-header.  Down 1-0 in the third, CSUSM rallied for three runs, thanks to an RBI triple by Lacey and a two-RBI double by Dronenburg.

Then with the score 3-2 in the sixth, the Cougars would get some insurance.  With Houle and Poston on base, Villalpando delivered a big double to right, scoring both runners.  Pinch runner Kaitlin McGinley would come in to score on a Lacey base hit.  The 6-2 score would hold, with the game ending on a Biola runner being thrown out at second trying to advance.

CSUSM has a busy two-week stretch coming up, hosting the Cougar Clash tournament on campus starting on Wednesday.  Prior to that, the Cougars will play a Monday double-header against Bethany, and Tuesday against La Verne.
