HAYWARD, Calif. - The Cal State East Bay softball team dropped a pair of games to Sonoma State in doubleheader action on Friday. The Pioneers (4-10, 4-10 CCAA) fell 8-0 in five innings before dropping a 12-5 decision in the second game of the day to the second-place Seawolves (13-4, 8-2).

Though the Pioneers put together a pair of hits in the bottom of the first inning of game one, Sonoma starter Julianne Martinez got out of the inning. With the game scoreless through two innings, the Seawolves first got on the board in the top of the third. After Danielle D'Eccliss reached on an error, Ashley Britton and LeeAnn Stroud put together back-to-back doubles to drive in two runs before Pioneer starter Lauren Zweigle ended the inning  with SSU leading 2-0.

After East Bay left two on in its half of the third, Sonoma State continued to roll in the fourth, posting four runs on five hits, including a pair of RBI doubles that chased Zweigle from the game. With a 6-0 lead behind her, Martinez held the Pioneers hitless in the fourth and fifth. Meanwhile, the Seawolves led off with a single in the top of the fifth before Skylynn Myers homered off junior relief pitcher Dani Foster to seal the eight-run rule victory.

Martinez earned her sixth win of the season in the five-hit shutout, while Zweigle took the loss, allowing six runs on eight hits.

Game two saw Sonoma State get started early, putting together four hits in the top of the first, scoring three runs off East Bay starter Cat Schorn. After a pair of two-out RBI doubles, Schorn ended the inning with her first of five strikeouts in the game.

The Seawolves added another run in the top of the third to take a 4-0 lead before Cal State East Bay's offense finally got going in its half of the third. Schorn started the inning off with a single to left, after a bunt single from sophomore Mary Ogden and an error on a throw to third, Schorn came around to score and Ogden found herself at third. Freshman outfielder Renaye Gamson followed with an infield single, putting two on for senior catcher Sarah Davini. With no outs, Davini singled, driving in Ogden before  freshman shortstop Ashlee Coronado pushed a slow roller between the third baseman and the shortstop to drive in Gamson. With one out, junior Nikki Freiberg singled to center to bring Davini around and tied things up 4-4 before a ground out and a pop up ended the inning.

With the game tied at four runs apiece, both teams went scoreless until the bottom of the fifth. After Freiberg grounded out, freshman designated player Sara Holdridge gave the Pioneers a 5-4 lead, their first of the day, with a solo homerun to right center. Any rally thoughts were squashed, however, when SSU starter Samantha Lippered got a ground out and a strikeout to end the inning.

Sonoma State answered immediately, stringing together six hits in the top of the sixth to drive in five runs and take a 9-5 lead. The Pioneers looked set to respond back as Ogden and Gamson hit back-to-back singles to lead off the bottom half of the sixth. Lipperd ended the threat though, getting Davini to ground into a double play and striking out Coronado to send the Seawolves into the seventh with a 9-5 advantage.

The top of the seventh saw more of the same from Sonoma, as it added another three runs on a pair of singles, followed by a homer from Janelle Arnold. Lipperd sat the Pioneers down in order in the bottom of the seventh, sealing her seventh win of the season. Schorn took the loss, giving up 12 runs on 16 hits to drop to 4-4 on the year.

Davini went 2-for-5 on the day, scoring a run and driving in another, while Coronado went 3-for-7, while driving in one run. In game two, Gamson made the most of her first start of the season, going 2-for-2 with a run, an RBI and a walk. Ogden also had a quality start at second, going 2-for-3 with a run scored.

The Pioneers and Seawolves will meet for another doubleheader tomorrow to close out the series. The first game of Saturday's twin bill is set for a 1 p.m. first pitch at Pioneer Field.
