Aggies Sweep `Runners in Saturday Doubleheader

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Cal State Bakersfield softball team fell behind early in both games of its Big West doubleheader on Saturday. The Roadrunners ultimately dropped the pair of five-inning games to visiting UC Davis at the Roadrunner Softball Complex.

Quotes from Head Coach Daniel Sperl
  • "We struggled to limit damage today and gave Davis several extra outs. They're too good a team and will take advantage of those opportunities more often than not."
  • "We need to find our resilience and stay positive because we are having good moments and opportunities, but the margin for success in this league is slim."
CSUB 2, UC Davis 11 (5 inn.)
  • UC Davis jumped out to an early lead, plating four runs in the top of the first inning.
  • CSUB relief pitcher Kaycie Kennedy came into the game in the top of the second and retired six-straight Aggies before UC Davis got hot again in the fourth.
  • The Aggies tacked on seven runs in the top of the fourth to make the score 11-2.
  • Down to its final three outs, CSUB rallied in the bottom of the fifth, plating a pair of runs on RBI base hits from outfielders Maya Williams and Kaia Johnson.
  • UC Davis finally sealed off the 11-2, run-rule victory.
  • Kirsten Martinez pitched the final one and a third innings for Bakersfield holding the Aggies quiet over that stretch while striking out three batters.
CSUB 0, UC Davis 9 (5 inn.)
  • Just as they did in the first game, the Aggies struck early, this time around scoring three runs in the top of the first.
  • Williams, who went 2-for-5 on the day for Bakersfield, found her way to third base in the bottom of the first inning, but the `Runners were unable to bring her home.
  • After scoring a pair of runs in the third inning and four more runs in the fourth, UC Davis enjoyed a 9-0 advantage heading into the fifth.
  • The Aggies' starting pitcher, Taylor Fitzgerald, came back out and closed down the five-inning, shutout victory. The righty struck out four `Runners and allowed just two hits in the dominant performance.
