CSUB Falls to CSUN in Series Finale

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – After taking an early lead, the Roadrunner bats went cold as the CSU Bakersfield softball team dropped its series finale against CSUN on Sunday afternoon. The visiting Matadors plated seven runs over the second and third innings on the way to a 10-1 victory at the Roadrunner Softball Complex.

CSUB struck first for the second time in the series, taking a 1-0 lead out of the bottom of the first inning. Freshman Shaylene Fuimaono delivered an RBI single, scoring Savanna Montoya from second base and giving the `Runners a lead.

CSUN was unfazed by giving up the early lead as the Matadors pounced on the `Runners in the top of the second, plating four runs of their own. A three-spot in the second inning saw CSUN go ahead of CSUB 7-1 and the Matadors shifted into cruise control the rest of the way.

Bakersfield tallied six hits on Sunday, but the `Runners were unable to string hits together in the loss. After CSUN notched three more insurances runs in the top of the seventh, the Matadors closed out the 10-1 win and the sweep of CSUB.

Despite a 2-for-2 performance form Montoya, a junior outfielder, the `Runners fell at the hands of their visitors. CSUN's offense was propelled by a standout day from Sydney Freijanes, who went 4-for-4 with 7 RBI against the Bakersfield pitching staff.

The `Runners (8-31, 3-18 Big West) will hit the road next weekend for their final road series of the season. Bakersfield has a three-game set lined up with Long Beach State, May 6-7, before returning to the Roadrunner Softball Complex one last time for Senior Weekend.
