Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ROHNERT PARK, Calif. – The Cal State San Marcos softball team dropped the opening two games of its four-game series at Sonoma State, 6-2 and 3-2, on Friday afternoon at Seawolf Field.

The Cougars drop to 6-22 overall and 4-16 in CCAA play. SSU improves to 13-10, 10-7 CCAA.

CSUSM and SSU will wrap up the series with a doubleheader tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Game 1
The Cougars rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh inning, but it was too-little-too-late as the Cougars dropped the opening 6-2.

Robyn Alvara was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, Holly Fauria and Caylyn Rodriguez each had RBI base hits, but CSUSM could not take advantage of runners in scoring position early and found it troublesome to climb back from a 6-0 deficit.

CSUSM had runners on the corners with one out in the top of the first, but Amanda Llerena (8-6) got Melyssa Bellamy to ground into a 6-3 double play. In the second, Alvara led-off with a double, but could not get home from third after moving over on a sacrifice bunt from Tayler Ybarra.

Jordan White's two-run homer made it 3-0 Seawolves in the bottom of the third.

Alvara doubled in the third and Sara Langdon doubled in the fourth, but CSUSM could not push them across.

SSU combined for five hits and three runs in the bottom half of the sixth inning, highlighted by an RBI double from Leanna Georges.

Karla Bernal singled with one out in the top of the seventh. Langdon walked and Rodriguez promptly banged in Bernal with a single to right. Langdon took third on the play before Rodriguez took second on a wild pitch.

Holly Fauria drove in Langdon with a sacrifice fly, but the Cougars could not inch closer.

Game 2
The Seawolves scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to complete a come-from-behind, 3-2 victory over the Cougars.

CSUSM starter Amanda Horbasch (3-12) had allowed just two hits through the game's first six frames, but Alee Blanon came through with a one-out single to put a runner aboard in the seventh.

Alison Strycula then tripled in Blanon to make it 2-2. The leadoff batter ended the game when she scored on Horbasch's wild pitch.

Lindsay Cerulle made it 1-0 in the third. Brogan Hoenisch's RBI groundout handed the Cougars a 2-0 lead in the fourth.
