Cal Poly Drops Big West-Opening Pair Saturday at CSUN
3/19/2022 3:19:00 PM | Softball
NORTHRIDGE – Limited to two hits by CSUN during Saturday afternoon's Big West Conference opener, the Cal Poly softball program dropped the first game of a doubleheader to the Matadors, 8-0 (five innings). Cal Poly also fell in Saturday's second game, 9-1 (five innings).
Â
During Saturday's Big West opener, Cal Poly starting senior lefthander Krystyna Allman (4-7) stranded the CSUN bases loaded to close the first inning. The Matadors, however, scored five unearned runs with two outs during the bottom of the second, an effort highlighted by a bases-clearing triple from first baseman Sami Garcia.
Â
CSUN starting lefthander Kenedee Jamerson (3-9) retired the first seven Mustangs she faced, a streak snapped with a one-out double from sophomore first baseman Hailey Prahm (above) in the top of the third. The Mustangs, however, stranded Prahm before leaving senior shortstop Maddie Amos – who collected Cal Poly's other hit – on base to close the top of the fourth.
Â
The Matadors, meanwhile, placed the decision in run-rule territory after third baseman Vinessa Nunez hit a one-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the fourth.
Â
Cal Poly was then retired in order during the top of the fifth to close the matchup.
Â
During Saturday's second game, two Cal Poly errors during the bottom of the first helped lead to CSUN's opening run. The Matadors next tripled their advantage in the second through a solo homer from shortstop Aaliyah Swan and a two-out, run-scoring double by center fielder Jaymi Steward.
Â
CSUN then furthered the lead to 7-0 in the third with Cal Poly's third error of the game contributing to three unearned runs.
Â
Held to one hit through the opening three innings by CSUN starting righthander Alexis Martinez (6-6), Cal Poly scratched out its lone run of the afternoon in the fourth as senior designated player Lily Amos drove home Maddie Amos with a two-out, RBI single to cut the deficit to 7-1. Â
Â
Cal Poly, however, stranded a baserunner in the top of the fifth and CSUN reached the 9-1, run-rule decision in the bottom half with Steward producing a one-out, two-run single to end the matchup.
Â
Cal Poly (5-17, 0-2) closes its three-game, Big West-opening series at CSUN with a 12 noon matchup on Sunday, March 20.
