BOX SCORE 2
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — The Dominican University of California women's softball team struggled against a balanced Dixie State College offense, dropping a Pacific West Conference doubleheader 21-0 and 13-0, both in five innings, on Wednesday afternoon.
The No. 7 regionally ranked Red Storm (30-11/19-5) batted around in the first inning, plating nine runs. They added four runs in the fourth inning and eight in the fifth inning. Leadoff hitter
Molly Howard had two hits for Dominican and
Kellie Hislop also reached base on a single up the middle.
The Lady Penguins (2-26/2-22) were no-hit in the second game. With Dominican trailing 4-0,
Alisha McKnight came up with a big shut down third inning but the Red Storm exploded for an eight-run fourth inning.
Cortnie Chenoweth broke up the perfect game in the bottom half of the inning when she reached base on a dropped ball to the third baseman.
Kellie Hislop relieved McKnight in the fifth inning and gave up one inherited run and walked one, but induced a flyball and two groundouts to short to get out of the inning.
The Dominican women return to the field on Thursday, April 22 for another doubleheader against the Red Storm. First pitch at McInnis Park is set for 12:00 p.m.
