No Holding Back

Biola scores nine behind a complete game from Paige Austin to sweep day one.

BELMONT, Calif. --- The offense took a minute to get started, but once it did start it wouldn't stop as Biola Softball worked a 9-0 win over Notre Dame de Namur in game two of Thursday's road doubleheader.

The Eagles scored four in the fifth and four in the sixth and Paige Austin set NDNU down in order in the bottom of the sixth to end the game as a run-rule victory in favor of BU.

Austin was marvelous from start to finish in this one, only allowing a pair of seeing-eye singles early on. She struck out eight and walked only one in leading the team to its sixth victory of the road trip.

The Eagles got the offense started with one early strike, using a Jennifer Morinishi lead-off triple in the third to create the eventual run. The game remained close all the way up until the top of the fifth when the bats really started to take off.

The Eagles used four hits, a walk and a pair of HBPs to push four runs across in the fifth. They stranded the bases loaded in that inning, but it wouldn't come back to haunt them as things kept rolling the very next inning.

Four singles and a double in the sixth resulted in four more runs for BU and put the game to a spot where a solid half-inning in the bottom would end the game early.

Austin got a strikeout, groundout and popout to set the Argos down in order and send BU to Red Robin with huge smiles on their faces.

Ruth Munoz had her second-consecutive 3-for-4 game, once again acting as the spark plug in the no. 2 spot in the lineup. She scored twice and drove in one other run as one of two Eagles to play a hand in three runs in game two. Jennifer Morinishi was the other, driving in two and scoring once.

It was a total team effort on offense with nine different Eagles registering a hit and six players touching home plate.

The win pushes Biola to 22-12 overall and 17-7 in PacWest Conference play. It's a 6-0 start to the road trip and puts Biola two wins away from locking up a spot in the National Christian College Athletic Association World Series in Botetourt, Virgina.

Biola and NDNU (2-41, 2-28 PacWest) are set for two more games on Friday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
