CSUB improves to 5-8 overall with the sweep while taking the season series from Utah Valley (3-5) three games to one.

The Roadrunner offense showed no signs of slowing following its 11-run, 15-hit performance in Saturday's second game versus the Wolverines. CSUB pounded out 10 extra base hits Sunday, including a school record-tying six doubles in game two. The 'Runners equaled the six doubles they hit in a win over San Francisco State on Mar. 21, 1999.

The first game was delayed for more than 20 minutes when UVU catcher Shaylyn Varney appeared to dislocate her left thumb while diving to try to tag Jamie Miller (Livermore/Ohlone College) on a bang-bang play at the plate in the fifth inning. She left the field under her own power after paramedics arrived and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. She did not return.

The delay prolonged solid efforts from Rodriguez and UVU starter Kyli Flanary, who both battled hard in the opener. But defense-and Rodriguez's bat-proved to be the difference in a game that saw the lead change hands three times. The Wolverines made four errors behind Flanary, including two in the decisive sixth inning that set up Rodriguez's heroics at the plate.

With CSUB trailing 3-2 in the sixth, a throwing error on a sacrifice attempt followed one pitch later by a throwing error on a stolen base attempt allowed the Roadrunners to tie the game at 3-3. Rodriguez then stroked a double to the gap in left center to give CSUB the lead.

Flanary tried to duplicate Rodriguez's heroics with a two-out double of her own in the top of the seventh, but Rodriguez fanned pinch hitter Allison Barr to seal the win.

The Roadrunners supported a two-hit gem by senior pitcher Shawna Truan (McArthur/Fall River HS) by scoring on a walk, an error and a sacrifice fly in the first inning of the nightcap. That proved to be all the support Truan would need. She allowed just one runner to reach second base in the game while retiring 14 of the final 16 batters she faced.

Her offense, however, kept piling on the runs. In addition to Rodriguez's two doubles, Ryane Petersen (Fresno/Fresno State) hit two doubles while Kristen Archuleta (Hollister/San Benito HS) hit a double and her first home run of the season. Shortstop Heather Veitch (Simi Valley/Royal HS) added a pair of hits, including the two-run single in the sixth inning that ended the game via the eight-run run.

Five 'Runners hit safely in both games Sunday, led by Archuleta, who had four hits, three runs and two RBIs. Rodriguez finished the afternoon 3-for-5 with three doubles. Petersen finished 3-for-5 with two doubles.

Leftfielder Amber Sackett had a two-run home run, her first of the season, to lead the UVU offense in game one. First baseman Cherylyn McGraw had both Wolverine hits in game two.

CSUB returns to action Friday morning when it plays fellow PCSC member Saint Mary's College to open the Matador Classic at Cal State Northridge. The 'Runners will also face Iowa, Santa Clara and CSUN over the weekend.

UVU heads to Fort Collins where it will open play at the Colorado State Invitational against Utah State Friday morning.
