TURLOCK, Calif.—The No. 14 Cal State Dominguez Hills softball team swept a pair of games over Cal State Stanislaus, 8-0 in six innings in the first game and 7-5 in the second, in CCAA action at Warrior Field Friday afternoon.

The Warriors fall to 31-20 overall and 14-12 in the CCAA, while the Toros improve their mark to 42-9 and 21-7 in conference play to close out their regular season.

In game one it was the Lori Moreno hitting a bases-loaded triple in the second to give the Toros an early 3-0 lead.

In the fifth the Toros tacked on two more with RBI-singles from Jackie Miller and Natalie Greco and the final runs came with RBI-singles from Greco and Araceli Martinez in the sixth.

Miller took the win to improve to 16-3 allowing just one hit and fanning seven. Amanda Cantu took the loss, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing all seven runs on nine hits to drop to 12-4.

In the late game, the Warriors kept it closer and had the winning run on first base with two out in the bottom of the seventh before the side was retired.

Down 7-4 in the inning, Suzanne Burolla was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, followed by a Sarah Shamblin single and a walk to Alyssa Guzman to load the bases. With one out, Roberta Argot drove in one run. Then a deep fly by Megan Law to center was not enough to score the runner from third, giving the team the bases loaded and two outs before the final batter struck out to end the rally.

Dominguez Hills opened the game with a two-run first, but Argott tied the score with a two-run double in the Warriors half of the inning.

Three more Toro runs would cross the plate in the third inning and Stanislaus added two in the third on a single up the middle by Law to make it 5-4. The Toros added the insurance runs in the seventh.

Amy Thomas hurled 5.0 innings to take the win and improve to 12-5, while Miller threw one inning of relief to pick up her first save of the season. Jessica Gaumnitz went the distance allowing the seven runs on 10 hits to drop to 10-7 overall.

CSUDH now will wait for both its opponent and travel destination as the NCAA determines the fate for all Far West Region playoff qualifiers, with the post-season beginning on Thursday, May 11.
