Titans Win Doubleheader at Cal Poly

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - The Cal State Fullerton Titan's softball team completed a doubleheader sweep over the Cal Poly Mustangs on Friday at the Bob Janssen Field.

The Titans (29-16, 16-4) won their sixth conference series in a row and are on a 10-game winning streak.  

The Titans won the first game over the Mustangs 4-2 and the second game of the doubleheader 6-3.  

Cal State Fullerton 4, Cal Poly 2

The Titans won the first game of the doubleheader over Cal Poly 4-2. 

Bailey Wallace did it all offensively as she went 3-for-3 with 1 run and 4 RBIs.  Wallace hit her first collegiate home run to put the Titans up 3-0 in the third inning.

The Mustangs got two runs back in the fourth inning after an error to start the inning came back to haunt the Titans. The Mustangs scored one run on a sac fly and the second run on a base hit with two outs by Julia Barnett.

The Titans got a run back in the fifth inning after taking advantage of an error by the Mustangs defense.  Alexa Neil reached on a fielding error.  She stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by the catcher.  Bailey Wallace singled to score Alexa Neil and put the TItns up 4-2.

Cal Poly got two runners on in the final frame but Myka Sutherlin induced a groundout to first base that bounced off the bag to Daisy Munoz who ran to first for the final out. 

Myka Sutherlin got the win and tossed a complete game.  She allowed two runs (unearned) on three walks, six hits, and struck out five.

Cal State Fullerton 6, Cal Poly 3

The Cal State Fullerton Titans led early, gave up the lead, and then scored four unanswered runs to get the win over Cal Poly in the second game of the series.  

The Titans benefitted from a porous Mustang defense that committed five errors for the game. 

Haley Rainey pitched a complete game and allowed three runs on six hits, two walks, and five strikeouts. 

Hannah Becerra was 2-for-4 with 1 run scored.  Alexa Neil went 1-for-3 with 2 RBIs.  Peyton Toto went 1-for-4 with 2 RBIs.

The Titans struck first after a two out rally in the second.  Deshea Hill walked, Evelyn Sablan singled, and Anaiya Mitchell walked to load the bases.  Alexa Neil had a base hit down the left field line that scored two runs to put the Titans on top 2-0.

The Mustangs scored three runs in the third to take the lead over the Titans.  After an illegal pitch was called on Hailey Rainey on what should've been a 4-3 groundout to start the inning, the leadoff hitter worked a walk instead.  She came around to score on a Jessica Clements double. Rainey hit the next batter and both runners advanced into scoring position on a groundout to second. Juju Sargent singled up the middle on an 11-pitch at bat that scored both runners to give the Mustangs the 3-2 lead. This was the first time the Titans had to play from behind since losing the first game of the series against CSUN.

The Titans tied the game in the fifth inning.  The Titans got two runners on after Alexa Nei walked, Jessi Alcala had a base hit, Daisy Munoz reached on a fielder's choice to replace Alcala on the bases.  Hannah Becerra hit what should've been an inning ending groundout to third but the third baseman fumbled the ball which scored Neal from third. 

The Titans went ahead in the sixth inning off yet another Mustang miscue.  Deshea Hill led the inning off with a base hit and was pinch ran for by Ava Arce.  Evelyn Sablan hit a grounder to short that should've wiped Arce out at second but the second baseman dropped the ball from the shortstop.  Anaiya Mitchell and Alexa Neil had back-to-back fielder's choices to put two outs on the board and runners on the corners.  Bailey Wallace hit what should've been an inning ending groundout to short but the shortstop booted it off her chest and the Titans went ahead 4-3.

The Titans added two more insurance runs in the seventh inning to take a 6-3 lead.  Daisy Munoz walked to start the inning and Hannah Becerra singled for a bunt to the pitcher who threw the ball wildly to first base that allowed both runners to be in scoring position.  Peyton Toto smacked a triple over the left fielder into the left field warning track to put the Titans on top 6-3.

Haley Rainey allowed a one out double but that was all for the Mustangs in the final inning.
