Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TURLOCK — It took a total of 18 innings on Friday, but the Cal State Stanislaus softball team finally stopped the skid by winning the nightcap, 6-5, in an 11-inning marathon over Cal State East Bay.

After numerous missed-opportunities — by both teams — the Warriors ended up scoring twice in the 11th, including the game-winner on a wild pitch, to earn the CCAA doubleheader split. The win ended Stanislaus' 11-game losing streak, just in time for Saturday's home finale and senior day.

The Warriors dropped the first game of the series to the Pioneers, 3-0, and are now 14-32 overall and 7-23 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Brittney Rickles scored the winner from third after a Lauren Zweigle pitch sailed high to the back-stop to end the game. Rickles had chopped a double over CSUEB third baseman Sarah Holdridge's reach to score pinch-runner Angela Mendoza to tie the game at 5-5 in the 11th.

After allowing four first inning runs, Stanislaus pitchers shut-down CSUEB (14-30, 9-21 CCAA) -- while leaving 17 base runners on base -- until the 11th. The Pioneers scored the go-ahead run on a sac fly.

Sarah Locarnini and Cierrah Mullins each had three hits in the second game. Lauren Liming tripled in a run in the first that followed a Locarnini score on a Pioneer throwing error. Three singles and a fly ball plated two Warriors in the sixth to make it 4-4.

Stanislaus had a golden opportunity to end the game earlier in the 8th. With the bases loaded and one out, Zweigle got two pop-ups to end the inning.

Brittani Weatherford, the Warriors' third pitcher in game two, threw six innings (after a complete game in the opener) to pick up the win. She gave up just tone unearned run on six hits in the outing. In all, she threw 13 innings and 213 pitches on the day.

Game two lasted three hours and 28 minutes and ended just before 7 p.m.

Weatherford and Zweigle traded zeros in the first game until the sixth inning when East Bay scored all three runs in the frame. Take away the CSUEB sixth, Weatherford faced just four batters over the minimum in the other innings.

Liming had two hits, beating out two bunt singles, while Locarnini went 1-for-3 to extend her on-base streak which is now at 14 games.

Meli Sanchez had four hits, three of them in game two, to lead Cal State East Bay's 20-hit day.
