BOX SCORE 1 | BOX SCORE 2

ARCATA, Calif. — After failing to score more than one run in an inning for 40 consecutive innings, the Cal State Monterey Bay softball team exploded for nine runs in the sixth inning of game two Saturday at Humboldt State. But the Humboldt State offense exploded for 19 runs of its own in the doubleheader, including four in the bottom of the seventh in the nightcap to rally for a 9–1, 10–9 sweep of the Otters.

Humboldt scored four runs in an inning four times Saturday. The Lumberjacks scored four in the first and four in the fifth of game one to end the game via run rule. In game two, HSU used a four–run fifth to take a 6–0 lead before the Otters rallied for their nine spot in the sixth to seemingly earn the split.

Lauren Ermitano (Hayward/Ohlone College) and Stacey Campos (Porterville/Granite Hills HS) each homered to highlight the Otter rally in game two. Campos added a fourth–inning single for her first two collegiate hits.

Ermitano ended the day with three hits, including a 2–for–2 performance in game one. Cori Reinhardt (Riverside Poly) was the only other Otter to collect hits in both game, finishing the day 2–for–6 with a triple and a pair of walks. Reinhardt has now reached safely in all 23 games to open the season.

CSUMB and Humboldt State will conclude their four–game series with a doubleheader Sunday in Arcata. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m.
