HAYWARD — Delaney Pamplin threw one of the Stanislaus State softball team's two complete games in the circle Friday, helping lead the Warriors to a California Collegiate Athletic Association doubleheader split at Cal State East Bay, winning the nightcap, 2-1, after falling in the opener, 5-2, at Pioneer Softball Field.
 
Kyndra Marzorini (5-12) and Pamplin (10-11) both threw complete games Friday. For Marzorini in game one, it was her ninth in a row. She only allowed three earned runs (five total) while striking out four and walking none. It was the fourth time in her last eight starts – all complete games – that she didn't issue a walk. Pamplin threw her second consecutive complete game in game two, and only allowed one earned run in the 2-1 victory. It was the eighth time in her last 11 appearances that she's allowed two or less runs.
 
GAME ONE
 
The Warriors (16-29, 10-24 CCAA) held a 1-0 lead in the opener after Madison Flexser doubled home Katie Thornsberry in the top of the fourth. Cal State East Bay (23-25, 14-20 CCAA) answered right back with two runs in the bottom half, thanks in part to a Stan State error.
 
The Pioneers staked themselves to a bigger lead an inning later when Madeline Ramirez launched a three-run home run, making it 5-1.
 
Two doubles in the sixth by Lauryn Serda and Karli DalBianco pulled Stanislaus State within three, but it would leave two runners on at inning's end. The Warriors got a one-out base runner in the seventh, but the inning and game ended with an out on the base paths.
 
GAME TWO
 
This time it was Cal State East Bay that took a 1-0 lead early, before Stanislaus State came from behind and held on for the victory.
 
Ramirez drove in a run in the third with an RBI single, making it 1-0. Stan State answered in the fifth with two runs – all that Pamplin would need to ride to victory. Melissa Spencer tied the game with an RBI double, scoring Sheridan Gulley all the way from third. And Sidney Crippen-Lay followed by knocking in Spencer on the very next pitch with an RBI single, putting Stan State up, 2-1.
 
Pamplin retired 14 of the last 15 batters she faced, including nine of the last 10 and eight consecutive to finish the game after she was given a 2-1 lead.
