LBSU Blanks CSUB Softball in Series Opener

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Facing off against the Big West's second-place team, the CSU Bakersfield softball team suffered an 8-0, five-inning loss at the hands of Long Beach State on Friday afternoon.

LBSU loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the first inning and promptly plated a run on an RBI single by Kyra Snyder. CSUB starter Kirsten Martinez got the `Runners out of the inning, but not before another pair of RBI base hits gave the Beach a 4-0 lead.

In the bottom of the third, LBSU loaded the bases with two outs and Sara Olson delivered an RBI single to give the Beach a five-run advantage. Martinez induced a soft grounder to end the damage after just one run. LBSU plated two runs in the fourth and then walked off on an RBI single from Naomi Hernandez in the bottom of the fifth, taking an 8-0 victory to open the series.

LBSU's Samantha Fowler pitched a standout game, no-hitting the `Runners in the five-inning contest. CSUB's Kayla Tadewosian nearly broke up the no hitter with a hard-hit ball in the top of the fifth, but a nice defensive play kept the no-no intact.

CSUB (8-32, 3-18 Big West) and LBSU (26-20, 16-6 Big West) will return to the LBSU Softball Complex on Saturday to close out the series with a doubleheader. First pitch of the day is scheduled for 1 p.m. (PT) and the pair of games will once again be broadcasted live on ESPN+.
