Bulldogs complete sweep of Rams
4/24/2022 4:00:00 PM | Softball
FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State softball team defeated the Colorado State Rams 6-3 on Sunday at Margie Wright Diamond.
The victory by Fresno State (16-30, 8-10 Mountain West) clinched a series sweep of Colorado State (14-23, 5-10 MW) with a Sunday series finale in which the Bulldogs never trailed.
Fresno State is now 10-5 in the month of April and has won 10 of its last 14 games.
How it happened: The Bulldogs took an early lead when Vanessa M. Hernandez connected on a two-run single to right field in the second.
While CSU evened the game at 2-2 with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth, Fresno State answered courtesy of Keahilele Mattson's two-out, two-run double on an 0-2 pitch in the bottom half of the fourth frame.
Alesia Denby crushed a two-run home run in the sixth inning, which gave the Bulldogs a 6-2 lead.
The Rams added a run in the seventh as Cassidy West closed out the sweep.
In the circle, West earned her eighth victory of the season in four innings of work – striking out five with just one walk in 22 batters. West had recorded saves in each of the first two games of the series.
WHAT'S NEXT
Fresno State will travel to play at Arizona on Sunday, April 30.
