CHICO -- Senior right-hander Debbie Shisler pitched a complete-game one-hitter for Cal State San Bernardino Friday as the Coyotes salvaged a split of their CCAA softball doubleheader with host Chico State, 2-0.

     Jenna Wermes got Chico's only hit, a double.
     It was Wermes who did in the Coyotes in the first game, delivering a game-winning RBI single with two out in the bottom of the seventh to give Chico their 6-5 win.

Christine Johnson was four-for-four for the Wildcats with two runs scored and an RBI. Gwen Cox was two-for-four with two runs scored an an RBI. Rebecca Johnson drove in two runs as well.
