Eagles Get Just Enough

Biola wins game one over CSU San Marcos, 2-1.

SAN MARCOS, Calif. --- After a disappointing trip to Azusa last week Biola Softball bounced back and regained its spot in the win column on Tuesday with a 2-1 game one win over CSU San Marcos on the road.

The Eagles were held hitless until the fourth inning as the offense continued to be slow-going, but one timely hit from Jay Perez ended up making all the difference the Eagles' narrow victory.

The fifth inning began well for BU when the Cougars' shortstop dropped a ball, allowing the lead-off hitter Andi Hormel to reach first safely. That was followed by a single through the left-side hole by Haley Martinez to set up the scoring. After a successful sacrifice bunt, Perez came up and roped a double to the right center field gap to drive in both runners and get the Eagles the lead.

Those two runs came in support of Paige Austin, who went the distance after earning her first collegiate start. The freshman allowed one first-inning run but then used some crafty pitches to work out of jams and keep them off the board the remainder of the game.

The Cougars had runners reach scoring position in every inning but the fourth, but Austin did a great job of inducing easy defensive outs. She entered the seventh inning having six strikeouts, six groundouts and six fly ball outs.

The freshman allowed six hits, but none went for extra bases, which was critical in limiting CSUSM to its lone run. The Cougars got their leadoff batter to second base immediately in the seventh as a single to left field and an error landed the runner in scoring position. A sacrifice bunt moved her to third base with one out, but Austin managed a can of corn popup to shortstop and a lineout to second base to end the game and secure her 11th pitching win of the season.

The Eagles improve to 25-8 with the win and are now 14-3 overall in non-conference play. They have a chance to improve both of those records in game two of this doubleheader, which is set to begin at about 3:30 p.m.
