Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TURLOCK — Key hits came at the right time on Saturday as the Cal State Stanislaus softball team wrapped up its home season with a pair of victories and a winning streak.

The Warriors swept Cal State East Bay, 4-3 and 5-1, on senior day to win the series and ran their current winning streak to three games. Cal State Stanislaus improved to 16-32 overall and 9-23 in conference play before hitting the road to Carson for the regular season finale weekend.

Cal State Stanislaus scored four times in the seventh for another walk-off win in game one, then used a three-run sixth to widen the gap in the nightcap for the Saturday twinbill sweep.

Trailing 3-0 entering their final at-bats in the first game, the Warriors finally got to East Bay ace Lauren Zweigle. Two great at-bats that drew back-to-back walks to started the inning by Lauren Liming and Amy Droege kick-started the rally. A fielding error by the Pioneers shortstop and four consecutive singles resulted in four Stanislaus runs.

Brittney Rickles and Brittani Weatherford both singled in runs and Sarah Locarnini's walkoff single to deep left-center scored Kiley Mendez as the game-winner.

Up until that point, Zweigle was cruising through six innings and did not allow a base runner past first until Rickles walked and advanced on a bunt in the sixth.

Rickles and Locarnini ended up with a pair of hits in the opener.

In the nightcap, Stanislaus turned a 2-1 lead into a 5-1 game with three runs in the sixth with more timely hitting.

Liming again started the rally by leading off the inning with a double down the left-field line, then three more hits followed with RBI singles by Droege and Rickles. Mia Ramirez mixed in with a bunt single as well. Then, Weatherford capped the rally with a sacrifice fly to center to plate Ramirez.

Kristan Burns earned the win in the circle after five solid innings. She gave up just one unearned run on four hits before Weatherford pitched the final two innings for the save.

Weatherford broke the tie in the fifth with an infield single and stole second and third. The senior then scored on a failed squeeze play when the CSUEB catcher threw the pickoff attempt down the line.

The Warriors will finish their 2013 season with a four-game set at Cal State Dominguez Hills next weekend.
